Keynote Theme: Navigating Change / Building for the Future
Technology Advances in Scheduling & Strategic
Planning What new techniques are being
explored to help develop and analyze networks?
Are we continuing to advance our technology or have we reached a
plateau? Is existing technology
appropriate and adaptable to changes in industry?
Schedule Generation: Techniques to Build Effective and
Efficient Schedules What investigative tools are being used to measure schedule
quality? Are alternative schedules
assessed for schedule robustness or reliability? How does the strategic planning process (impact?)
address schedule quality and/ or reliability?
Key Factors in Developing Low-Cost Carrier Schedules What techniques and/or criteria are used
by low cost carriers to develop their schedules? Are advances in operations research employed
in the low cost carrier model? As low
cost models mature will they adopt pieces of the operations research techniques
used by traditional carriers?
The Effect of Alliances in Scheduling and Strategic
Planning How do carriers
integrate their schedule planning process with alliance partners? Can alliances develop a strategic advantage
by tightly coupling their schedules?
Hubs in Future Networks How is the role of hub airports evolving? Are their new hybrid models evolving beyond
“rolling-hubs” and the “focus city” concept employed by low cost carriers.
