Abstract

Given a set of flights to be flown for a specific aircraft type, with specified maintenance locations, durations, and needed frequency, the aircraft rotation problem is to determine the specific route flown by each aircraft. The objective is to maximize the benefit derived from making specific connections. In this paper, we present a mathematical formulation for the aircraft rotation problem (ARP) and discuss its similarity with the asymmetric traveling salesman problem. We solve the ARP by Lagrangian relaxation and subgradient optimi-zation and present computational results on real data from a major airline. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1997
