Abstract: The success of Cathay Pacific Airways depends very much on the performance of its planning department. One of the main operations of the Airline Planning Department is flight scheduling which is done in two stages. First, a seasonal schedule is established according to the market demand, resource capacities and environmental constraints. The seasonal schedule is then adjusted to become a weekly schedule based on some special requirements that could be known only one week before the operation. However, the final chosen schedule is lacking in quantitative evaluation. Dynamic Flight Scheduling System is designed to support short-term scheduling and to perform evaluations on any generated schedule.
