Abstract:

Inside the Safety Management Systems (SMS) context, the risk management is an important tool since it aims to provide the basis for the organizational safety decisions. In this dissertation it is presented a model of risk management focusing on one group of agents of the aeronautical system, the airlines operators. Risk management for these agents is not only a matter of safety, but also of survivability, since, as part of an extremely competitive market, a major accident can lead a company into bankruptcy. The proposed method aims to cover all the main aspects of the risk management process,

Abstract:

The principal aim of this thesis is to identify and analyse inovative approaches and procedures of low-cost airlines that brought air transport to a broader mass of customers. This work also explores marketing specifics of the airline industry, discusses ticket pricing and ticket distribution issues, advertising opportunities, quality and product range issues. Later, it deals with enviromental challenges facing aviation. The final section formulates recommendations that will enable further revenue increases for low-cost carriers.

Abstract:

Efficient integrated/robust planning and recovery models were studied. The research focus was to integrate fleet assignment and crew scheduling, and, in addition, to provide solutions robust to real time operations. The contributions include: (1) To understand how schedule development and fleet assignment stages influence crew scheduling performance, schedule analysis methods were proposed to evaluate the crew friendliness of a schedule for a given fleet. (2) To meet the computational challenges of crew scheduling in integrated planning, a duty flow model was proposed which can efficiently fin

The demanded quality of product/service by the customer has become a crucial issue. The ability to provide quality products and services is increasingly becoming a key determinant of an airline's business success.

Airlines are not able to conduct their businesses in the same way as other global transnational industries. They are inhibited by the foreign ownership restrictions in Air Services Agreements and national laws. Since the United Kingdom and the United States signed the first Bermuda agreement in 1946, the nationality clauses contained in virtually all bilaterals have limited the companies designated to provide services to those airlines owned and managed by nationals of the respective countries. A key reason why foreign ownership rules remain in place is that they protect national airlines. In

Such airline operational responses to policy measures are not considered by existing integrated aviation-environment modelling tools.

The current airline practice is to assign aircraft capacity to scheduled flights well in advance of departure. At such an early stage in this process, the high uncertainty of demand poses a major impediment for airlines to best match the airplane capacities with the final demand. However, the accuracy of the demand forecast improves markedly over time, and revisions to the initial fleet assignment become naturally pertinent when the observed demand considerably differs from the assigned aircraft capacity.

Abstract:

The ability to effectively match supply and demand can lead to significant revenue benefits in the airline industry. Airline supply management deals with assigning the right resources (i.e., aircraft and crew) to the right routes in the flight network. Due to certain crew regulations, operating characteristics, and constraints of the airline companies, these supply management decisions need to be made well in advance of departures, at a time when demand is highly uncertain. However, demand forecasts improve markedly over time, as more information on demand patterns is gathered. Thus, exploitin

Abstract:

This dissertation develops a process improvement method for service operations based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC), a management philosophy that has been shown to be effective in manufacturing for decreasing WIP and improving throughput. While TOC has enjoyed much attention and success in the manufacturing arena, its application to services in general has been limited. The contribution to industry and knowledge is a method for improving global performance measures based on TOC principles. The method proposed in this dissertation will be tested using discrete event simulation based on the

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2003.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 115-123).<br>Airlines typically construct schedule plans based on the assumption that every flight leg departs and arrives as planned. Because this optimistic scenario rarely occurs, these plans are frequently disrupted and airlines often incur significant costs in addition to the originally planned costs. Flight delays and schedule disruptions also cause passenger delays and disruptions, and disrupted passengers experience very long delays

Abstract:

According to a recent report by the U.S. Senate Joint Economic Committee, the costs of domestic air traffic delays were estimated to be a staggering $41 billion in 2007. Of this, $19.1 billion was attributed to airline operating costs and $12 billion was attributed to passenger delays. In instances of irregular operations, an airline's primary objective is to get operations back to normal as quickly as possible while incurring minimal cost. Historically, airlines have prioritized recovering schedules for aircraft and crew before attempting to reaccommodate disrupted passengers. The literat

Abstract:

The voluntary turnover of revenue management analysts in the U.S. airline industry is an issue, compelling revenue management leaders to implement retention strategies that successfully reduce employee turnover. The purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore strategies revenue management leaders used within the last 15 years to retain revenue management analysts. The conceptual framework that grounded this study was Maertz's 8 motivational forces of job attachment and voluntary turnover. The targeted population was comprised of revenue management leaders at an airline in Dall

Abstract:

To counter the problem of the volatility of jet fuel prices within the United States, many financial managers of U.S. airlines use hedging as a financial tool to mitigate the risk of exposure to market price volatility. However, their efforts often lead to financial distress for their airlines. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to explore U.S. airline managers' use of financial hedging to reduce the risk of exposure from the volatility of jet fuel prices. The conceptual framework was Simkowitz's theory of modern finance, which concerns debt policy, dividend policy, and
