Flight delays can significantly affect airline operations. Airlines use inline recovery actions (e.g., speeding up aircraft cleaning) to mitigate the effect of flight delays. Inline (or tactical) recovery for disruptions mostly relies on human expertise ...

Missed connections at transit airports are a source of both poor customer experience and reduced airline operational efficiency. Airlines typically handle missed connections by rebooking customers. Recently, airlines have started holding departing ...

<P>Given a set of flights for a specific fleet type, the aircraft routing problem ARP determines the flying sequence for each individual aircraft while incorporating specific considerations of minimum turn time, maintenance checks, as well as ...

In this paper, we report how we complemented Gaia methodology to analyse and design a multi-agent system for an airline company operations control centre. Besides showing the rationale behind the analysis, design and implementation of our system, we ...

Traditional methods model the billion-dollar airline crew scheduling problem as deterministic and do not explicitly include information on potential disruptions. Instead of modeling the crew scheduling problem as deterministic, we consider a stochastic ...

Airlines typically construct their schedules assuming that every flight leg will depart and arrive as planned. Because this optimistic scenario rarely occurs, these plans are frequently disrupted and airlines often incur significant costs in addition to ...
