Airline maintenance task rescheduling in a disruptive environment

Airline maintenance task scheduling takes place in a disruptive environment. The stochastic arrival of corrective maintenance tasks and changes in both fleet and resource availability require schedules to be continuously adjusted. An optimal schedule ensures that all tasks are executed before their due date in both an efficient (at minimum...

Airline disruption management: A literature review and practical challenges

Airline disruption management is an active field of research. In recent years, there has been an increase in publications, in particular, in of works integrating two or more resources (i.e., aircraft, crew, passengers) in the recovery analysis. Given that more than 50% of the papers have been published after the last literature review paper ...

Dynamic aircraft recovery problem - An operational decision support framework

This paper presents a new approach for solving the recovery of the airline schedule when disruptions have occurred. The goal is to develop an operational tool that provides the airline with a solution in less than one minute. The proposed recovery model uses a heuristic that iteratively solves selections of the airline's fleet in order to...

Airline delay management problem with airport capacity constraints and priority decisions

This paper deals with the Airline Delay Management Problem (ADMP), which can be described as the task of dealing with daily airline operational delays and deciding whether to delay subsequent flights at a hub airport or to have them departing on time. An innovative integer linear programming approach is presented to the capacitated case of...
