19
Q

hybrid carrier network

A

feeder within hub and spoke, hub and spoke, point to point short/long range

20
Q

hybrid carrier fleet

A

homogeneous structure

21
Q

hub and spoke advantages

A

reduced costs using larger aircraft, simplified planning maintenance, connecting places with less original volume through network, simplified planning of personnel & spare parts

22
Q

hub and spoke disadvantages

A

passengers dont want connections, peak times require infrastructure performance, high complexity of system, susceptible to interference

23
Q

future model platform airlines (PFA)

A

airline offers entire journey door to door ticket, revenue ancillary, non-aviation

24
Q

future model air transport provider (ATP)

A

internet companies offer door to door ticket, airline provides aircraft to internet companies, airline doesnt sell any tickets, revenue only aviation and ancillary

25
Q

indirect operating costs

A

landed properties and ground equipment, passage/freight (cargo, handling, booking, sales, marketing), administration and overheads

26
Q

direct operating costs

A

costs of ownership, cash operating costs (crew, maintenance, navigation, landing, fuel), additional doc (local noise, local emission, emission trading)

27
Q

airport charges

A

landing, lighting, terminal user, noise, emission, navaid, ground handling, cargo, passenger related, airport tax, inspection, service

28
Q

ADOC

A

emission trading scheme domestic european flights

29
Q

fleet panning

A

what type of aircraft, when, and how many

30
Q

route planning

A

where to fly profitably

31
Q

schedule development

A

how frequently what time each route

32
Q

stages of airline planning

A

long term decision of strategic nature - planning and steering activities - knowledge of fleet composition and network plus flight schedule

33
Q

airline planning factors

A

market, demand, operations, restrictions, quality

34
Q

fleet planning cost factors

A

operating costs, reserves, flexibility of equipment, maintenance, degree of standardization

35
Q

fleet planning aircraft selection criteria

A

technical criteria (seats, range, fuel consumption, noise and exhaust emissions), financial criteria (price, residual value, maintenance costs, product support, fleet commonality), other (comfort, crew requirements, airport infrastructure, delivery flexibility), seat configuration, passenger appeal, variability of utility elements, engine position, propeller vs jet, politics

36
Q

fleet planning critical inputs

A

air traffic forecast, yield forecast, estimated aircraft productivity, operating costs

37
Q

route planning

A

long term (strategic planning) and short term (tactical planning)

38
Q

route evaluation

A

will the route be profitable if served, consider connections as well as direct, incremental profitability, technical capability of aircraft, operating cost characteristics of aircraft, political and legal restrictions, bilateral agreements, limited airport slots, competitor strategy

39
Q

route profitability model

A

used to maximize the total profits, given a set of candidate routes and estimated demands, subject to fleet and capacity constraints

40
Q

schedule development

A

frequency planning, timetable development, fleet assignment, aircraft rotation planning

41
Q

frequency planning

A

based on route evaluation process, number of departures per day, number of seats on departure, high freq low seat high convenience high operational cost vs low freq high seat low convenience low operational cost

42
Q

timetable development

A

provide departures at peak periods, max utilization vs convenience,
consider turn time, time zone difference, regulatory constraints

43
Q

schedule map

A

visual representation of flight legs that incorporate aircraft movement in terms of both geography and time

44
Q

fleet assignment problem

A

determines type of aircraft for each flight leg departure, minimize combined costs of spill (rejected payload demand). subject to minimum ground time, maintenance, rotation constraints

45
Q

how does airline improve aircraft availability

A

reduce turn time, reduce flight slack time, consider more routes and red eyes, plan efficient operations

46
Q

how does MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) improve aircraft availability

A

optimize check intervals in line with airline operations, reduce airplane delays, reduce airplane time in hangars
