Abstract

This chapter discusses the solution of real-life airline fleet scheduling problems of a large European airline, and aims to minimize the number of aircraft needed to serve a given set of flights. There is certain Nfreedom to schedule the flights expressed as a time window per each flight within which the flight has to depart. This is the strategy of some European carriers, which first fix the number of flights per connection together with the time window and the fleet for each flight according to the expected number of passengers. In a second step they schedule the flights within their given departure time windows. This problem of scheduling the flights and simultaneously generating aircraft rotations will be called the fleet scheduling problem. (For more details on the planning process see Suhl, 1995)
