Scheduling strategies for airline hub operations

Journal of Air Transport Management, 1994, vol. 1, issue 3, 131-144

Abstract: This paper aims to develop the theoretical principles behind the scheduling of waves of flights for connection purposes. A number of issues are addressed regarding the most effective way to meet the needs of the market while minimizing the negative impact on costs that can arise from peaking of activity and poor utilization of aircraft and crews. These will then be demonstrated with reference to specific examples of hub operations from the USA and Europe.
