The aircraft scheduling problem consists in sequencing aircraft on airport runways and in
scheduling their times of operations taking into consideration several operational …

This report is an update and extension of work published in 2004, also produced by the
University of Westminster. This new report takes into account, as far as possible, relevant …

We present a memetic approach for multi-objective improvement of robustness influencing
features (called robustness objectives) in airline schedules. Improvement of the objectives is …

Atmospheric turbulence poses a significant hazard to aviation, with severe encounters
costing airlines millions of dollars per year in compensation, aircraft damage, and delays …

European Air Traffic Management: Principles, Practice and Research is a single source of
reference on the key subject areas of ATM within Europe. It brings together material that was …

This paper presents a comprehensive empirical analysis of flight delay impact on airfare and
flight frequency in the US air transportation system. We model airfare and flight frequency as …

The impact of operational performance on airline cost structure is empirically investigated
using an aggregate, statistical cost estimation approach. Two distinct sets of operational …

In Europe, when an imbalance between demand and capacity is detected for air traffic
network resources, Air Traffic Flow Management slots are allocated to flights on the basis of …

Airport congestion is a major cause for the large delays that currently affect the air transport
industry. These delays have huge cost implications—for the US economy these costs were …

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 …
