Airline operations are disrupted frequently. The most impor-tant factors are unstable weather conditions and unpredictable techni-cal aeronautics problems. In a disrupted situation, an airline operatorneeds to quickly adjust the timetable and the resource schedules sothe importance of re-assignment of facilities to flight is much moreclearer. In this study, we considered the...

Recently, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has received considerable attention and is considered to be the next wave of information technology revolution. The number of RFID applications in different industries is increasing continuously. Cumulative sales of RFID tag is up in 2006 which shows RFID adoption trend in industries to improve their efficiency of operations and to gain a competit...

In this paper, we consider the recovery of an airline schedule after an unforeseen event called disruption, making the planned schedule infeasible. We present a modeling framework that allows the consideration of operational constraints within a Column Generation (CG) scheme. We introduce the general concept of recovery network, generated for each individual unit of the problem, and show how un...

Marketing airline products and services has always been highly competitive and requires that rigorous strategic planning is put in place for achieving maximum growth and profitability. Customer relationship management which is one of the factors that has direct impact on the overall performance of an airline must be guided and maintained by changing organisational internal and external marketin...

Schedule disruptions are commonplace in the airline industry with many flight-delaying events occurring each day. Recently there has been a focus on introducing robustness into airline planning stages to reduce the effect of these disruptions. We propose a recoverable robustness technique as an alternative to robust optimisation to reduce the effect of disruptions and the cost of recovery. We f...

The aviation industry has set an ambitious goal of reducing its climate impacts. Accordingly, airlines must balance their plans according to this with financial considerations. We developed a multi-objective framework facilitate climate-aware network design by incorporating the objective minimise flight average temperature response (ATR) when optimising airline network. also assessed operationa...
