Engine Management: A Decision Support Tool for Strategic Engine Maintenance Planning

This paper presents a model that helps engine management make cost saving decisions. The model is developed around airline-influenced factors that have an impact on engine Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO): Operations, maintenance philosophy, contract type, and fleet age. Within the model a decision support tool is developed to analyze the...

Value Analysis of Engine Maintenance Scheduling relative to Fuel Burn and Minimal Operating Costs

The paper presents the results from a study in collaboration with an airline that looked at modeling the relationship of maintenance and fuel burn costs relative to minimizing the life cycle cost relative to schedule. The work has verified that the bucket theory presented in the paper is a correct and has a direct impact on the scheduling...

Aviation and the environment, rating airlines on their co2 efficiency

The aviation industry contributes about 2% to the total global manmade CO2 emissions, which is seen as the main (manmade) greenhouse gas inducing climate change. This paper focuses on the design of a CO2 rating system which makes it possible to make a fair comparison of the environmental performance of airlines with respect to CO2 on the basis...
