Crew & Operations

Crew Scheduling
1. Optimum sequence of flight legs
2. assign flight & cabin crew
3. 1. Crew Pairing
  1. anonymous
  2. sequence of flights
  3. start / end at same base
  4. need to meet regulations
  5. sit connections
    1. 10min to 3h
    2. waiting time to change planes
  6. Rest times
    1. connection between two duty cycles
  7. avoid overnights away from base
    1. 3x cost
  8. try to keep to 1 tail No.
    1. avoid deadheading
    2. subject to impact of delays / cancellations
  9. Crew Pairing Math Model
    1. Objective function
      1. Minimise costs
      2. high crew utilisation
      3. min sit times
    2. constraints
      1. legal pairings
      2. Flight cover
      3. crews available at base
      4. rules & regulations
        government
        airline
        unions
    3. Process similar to Route Generator
    4. OUTCOME: set of legal route pairings
      1. Next: crew rostering
4. 2. Crew Rostering
  1. assign individual staff to crew pairings
  2. ensure balanced workload
  3. Math model to minimise deviation
    1. OUTCOME: Crew rosters (excl. reserves)
      1. Next: assign individuals
Manpower Planning
1. all aspects of airline
  1. flying
  2. airport
  3. admin
  4. catering
  5. MRO
  6. etc.
2. Hiring
3. Training
4. Scheduling
5. Manpower Scheduling Math Model
  1. Objective function
    1. Minimise cost
    2. max efficiency
    3. max utilisatiion
  2. constraints
    1. regulations
    2. operations requirement
Gate assignments
1. avoid delays from poor Gate assignments
2. especially hubs where gates permanently assigned to airline
3. Gate Assignment Math Model
  1. Objective function
    1. min delays
    2. short distance for PAX
    3. short distance for BAGS
  2. constraints
    1. aircraft size for gate
    2. ramp congestion
    3. BAG distance x No. of connecting bags
    4. PAX distance x No of connecting pax
  3. OUTCOME: optimum gate assignment with shortest pax and/or bag connections
    1. assign baggage handlers
    2. assign gate crews
    3. assign handling equipment
