“…The driver for the adoption and implementation of the CDM concept was a small, OR-minded team in the FAA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and especially the Metron Corporation (Chang et al 2001). The CDM Program has already led to major reductions in delays and missed connections for air travelers and to documented savings of hundreds of millions of dollars in airline operating costs.…”

T his paper presents an overview of several important areas of operations research applications in the air transport industry. Specific areas covered are: the various stages of aircraft and crew schedule planning; revenue management, including overbooking and legbased and network-based seat inventory management; and the planning and operations of aviation infrastructure (airports and air traffic management). For each of these areas, the paper provides a historical perspective on OR contributions, as well as a brief summary of the state of the art. It also identifies some of the main challenges for future research.

“…Air Traffic Control (ATC) coordination: The ATC role is not a part of the OCC as it is common for all airlines and operated by a public authority, for example the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the US and EuroControl in Europe. However, the ATC coordination becomes more and more important in North America, as airlines can actively participate in air traffic management through the Ground Delay Program by the FAA based on the Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) initiative [10]. In Europe, aircraft control typically takes this role.…”

Over the past decade, airlines have become more concerned with developing an optimal flight schedule, with very little slack left to accommodate for any form of variation from the optimal solution. During operation the planned schedules often have to be revised due to disruptions caused by for example severe weather, technical problems and crew sickness. Thus, the field of Airline Disruption Management has emerged within the past few years. The increased focus on cutting cost at the major airlines has intensified the interest in the development of new and cost efficient methods to handle airline disruptions.The purpose of this paper is twofold. In the first part it offers an introduction to airline disruption management, provides the readers with a description of the planning processes and delivers a detailed overview of the numerous aspects of airline disruption management. In the second part we report on experiences from a large research and development project on airline disruption management. Within the project the first prototype of a multiple resource decision support system at the operations control center in a major airline, has been implemented.

“…First, traffic flow management (TFM) initiatives will reduce the number of flights into an airport during the worst weather [2]. The reduced traffic may give the remaining flights greater flexibility to deviate.…”

Convective weather is known to reduce airspace capacity, but the extent of the impact is not well understood. Understanding how weather impacts terminal area capacity is essential for quantifying the uncertainty in weather forecast, determining how accurately the weather needs to be forecast, for developing an optimal mitigation strategy. Prior research has focused on the overlap between convective weather cells and air routes, but has not sufficiently analyzed the differences that arise due to factors such as aircraft types and pilot behavior. This paper examines the interactions between convective weather and aircraft trajectories in the arrival airspace surrounding Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Case studies based on operational data are used to determine potentially relevant operational factors, and a predictive model is built using these factors to forecast if a flight will pass through hazardous weather. The results of the analysis suggest that these operational factors are secondary compared to the weather itself in determining whether a pilot will deviate from or penetrate hazardous weather.
