Solver principles

• Must support incomplete data

• Multiple solutions are created, using different recovery techniques (e.g. use standbys, aircraft/ fleet swap, delay/ cancel and push forward)

Value

• Capture revenue opportunities

• Shorter time to recover, and with cost control

• Improve aircraft utilization• Lower maintenance cost• Reduce fuel cost

• More robust operation by alignment with crew and maintenance


Where to start


Lowest effort is to start with a short Tail Assignment study exploring any of the areas:

• New revenue opportunities, e.g. by supporting late re-fleeting• Improve aircraft utilization• Lower maintenance cost• Lower fuel cost by holistically matching tail performance and routes• Increase robustness with buffers in the right place and integration

with crew– and possibly lower crew cost at the same time
