([Cambridge, Mass.] : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)This study attempts to obtain an overall picture of air transportation in Mainland China, domestic and international, past and present, so as to lay the ground for further studies. A brief history of early aviation development ... -
Computerized schedule construction for an airbus transportation system
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)As part of a continuing study of the application of V/STOL aircraft to the transportation problems of the Northeast Corridor, the U.S. Department of Commerce has requested that detailed data be developed on schedules, ... -
Concentration in U.S. air transportation : an analysis of origin-destination markets since deregulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)The thesis examined the effects on competition of deregulation in the airline industry by analyzing changes in concentration over the ten-year period 1979-1989 in two sets of origin-destination city-pair markets: the top ... -
Congestion delays at hub airports
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)A deterministic model was developed to study the effects of inefficient scheduling on flight delays at hub airports. The model bases the delay calculation on published schedule data and on user-defined airport capacities. ... -
Deregulation : an update

The development of an operational game for the U.S. domestic airline industry
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)Introduction: The use of computer simulations to analyze large complex systems is now a well-established technique. By combining detailed numerical models of each component of the system, the behavior of the entire system ... -

Development of heuristic procedures for flight rescheduling in the aftermath of irregular airline operations
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)Airlines are constantly faced with operational problems which develop from severe weather patterns and unexpected aircraft or personnel failures. However, very little research has been done on the problem of addressing the ... -
Dynamic scheduling in airline operations
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1967, 1967)Introduction: Although air transportation has been characterized by rapid development in vehicle design and performance, methods of airline management in the area of vehicle scheduling and control have advanced at a much ... -
Energy and U.S. airline traffic
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)Introduction: THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO A PERIOD OF MAJOR SURGERY DURING THE PAST THREE YEARS AND HAS SURVIVED. VIEWED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE CAB, IT WAS NATURAL THAT THE GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN ... -
Evaluation of forecasting techniques for short-term demand of air transportation
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)Forecasting is arguably the most critical component of airline management. Essentially, airlines forecast demand to plan the supply of services to respond to that demand. Forecasts of short-term demand facilitate tactical ... -
Forecasting for airline network revenue management : revenue and competitive impacts
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)Airline revenue management entails protecting enough seats for late-booking, high-fare passengers while still selling seats which would have otherwise gone empty at discounted fares to earlier-booking customers. In the ... -
IFA/1 : an interactive airline fleet assignment model
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1981], 1981)This thesis investigates the Airline Fleet Assignment models which have been designed during the past 10 years within MIT's Flight Transportation Laboratory. Emphasis is placed on developing an interactive computer system, ... -
Incorporating sell-up in airline revenue management
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)The decision to buy a fare that is higher than the desired fare, under the situation when the desired fare is not available, is known as sell-up. Passengers' willingness to sellup can have considerable impact on airline ... -
Interactive dynamic aircraft scheduling and fleet routing with the out-of-kilter algorithm
([Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)A decision support system is introduced that automates dynamic aircraft scheduling and fleet routing. Interactive graphics-based schedule construction and modification tools automate the dynamic scheduling of aircraft of ... -
Investigation of competitive impacts of origin-destination control using PODS
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)The Passenger Origin / Destination Simulator (PODS) was used to investigate the competitive impacts of Origin-Destination control airline Revenue Management (RM) methods. Experiments performed included revenue performance ... -
Maintenance cost studies of present aircraft subsystems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)This report describes two detailed studies of actual maintenance costs for present transport aircraft. The first part describes maintenance costs for jet transport aircraft broken down into subsystem costs according to an ... -
The marketing of international air transportation in the USA
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)Introduction: I am very honoured to have been invited to talk to you today at such a distinguished place of learning as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I understand that you have already had talks from several ... -
A method for determination of optimum vehicle size and frequency of service for a short haul V/STOL air transport system
(Cambridge, Mass. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)To compete successfully in short haul markets under 200 miles, an air transport system must offer a high daily frequency of service, N, as well as short air travel times. In a given market, N can be increased by using ... -
Modeling airline group passenger demand for revenue optimization
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1991], 1991)Many airlines currently use a variety of analytic techniques for seat inventory control as part of a larger revenue or "yield" management system. However, much of the this effort has emphasized decisions based on the ...
