Presentations

This year the meeting will address the following : In the early 1970's aviation in '2001 was envisaged is as a period of hyper efficiency . Now we are in 2001 the realities of commercial aviation are different. With the advent of deregulation starting in the late '70s, airline traffic grew exponentially world wide yet the technology of managing air traffic @ airport and airspace has grown much slower. Aircraft manufactures, aviation authorities and airlines are facing new challenges as congestion and costs escalate and public patience from mounting delays are wearing thin. New insights, initiatives and strategies from ATC, airline planners and governments urgently needed. New IT systems and OR techniques integrating demand flow management, pricing etc. are required in light of these challenges. This conference will address the following issues

  • A New Formulation of Demand Driven Dispatch - UAL
  • Integration of Scheduling and Revenue Management at AA
  • The new air traffic management (ATM) system - Boeing
  • The approach developed to generate future schedules to be used in ATM capacity assessment studies
  • Boeing
  • A schedule planning tool for maximizing revenue while maintaining schedule feasibility - Parc Tech
  • Effectiveness of an airline's planned hub operations - Atraxis AG
  • An analysis of European hub growth - BA
  • Zero-based Scheduling - BA
  • Fleet Assignment - BA
  • Network planning and management tools
  • Tail Assignment as a Key Planning Problem - Carmen Systems AB
  • Planning for structural change of an airline system - QEDM

Active participation by the attendees of this meeting is necessary for it to be successful. We therefore encourage you to share your ideas with the others in our airline OR industry in the form of a presentation to the group. A soft copy of your presentation should be made available for the meeting and for publication.

Presentations do not need to describe a completed or implemented work. An update on a long-term project or a  discussion of ideas for the future development is often as interesting and useful to the group. If you are planning to make a presentation please advise Ken Wang by 01 April, 2001.
