DescriptionAirline Operations and Delay Management: Insights from Airline Economics, Networks and Strategic Schedule Planning by Cheng-Lung Wu English | PDF | ISBN-10: 075467293X | ISBN-13: 978-0754672937 March, 2016 | Routledge  Engineering, Civil & Environmental, Transportation CONTENTS Cover Contents List of Figures List of Tables Preface 1 Introduction to Airline Operations and the Operating Environment 2 Airline Operations at Airports 3 Managing Airline Ground Operations 4 Enroute Flight Operations in Airline Networks 5 Delay Management and Disruption Management 6 Robust Airline Scheduling and Operational Reliability References Index Excerpt: Introduction to Airline Operations and the Operating Environment This chapter provides a brief introduction to airline network design issues, the economic and regulatory forces driving airline network evolution, airline schedule planning procedures, airline operation issues, the greater environment in which airlines operate, and the complexity of managing an airline network. Section 1.1 brie y discusses different types of airline networks, and the driving economic forces that have changed airline scheduling and networking in the past two decades. Section 1.2 examines common airline schedule planning processes and some shortcomings in airline operational management that result from this scheduling paradigm. Also introduced in this section is the concept of the “complex network” that makes airline scheduling, resources allocation and operational management challenging. Section 1.3 covers airline operations both on the ground at airports and en-route in airspace. Various activities and procedures are required during airline ground operations and the success or efficiency of executing ground operational plans largely determines the schedule execution results, i.e. fight on-time performance (OTP) and profitability. Section 1.4 discusses the greater environment in which airlines operate, including airports and airspace. This section follows earlier sections and provides links between airline operations, schedule planning, complex network design, and delicate schedule synchronisation. The last section, Section 1.5 summarises this chapter and sets up the context for the remainder of this book. Section 1.5 explores airline operations, airline scheduling philosophy, and some management issues by addressing internal and external factors (with respect to an airline) that significantly influence tactical airline operations and strategic airline planning. The outline of the remaining chapters of this book is provided in this section as well. Sharing Widget |
