Air service to small communities-directions for the future : final report of the Workshop on Low/Medium Density Air Transportation
([Cambridge, Mass.] : M.I.T. Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1974], 1974)Introduction: In the decade between 1962 and 1972, certificated air service was deleted at about 250 points in the United States. In some of these cases, the service was no longer needed because of improved highway access ... -
Air travel demand and airline seat inventory management
(Cambridge, MA : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1987], 1987)Many airlines practice differential pricing of fare products that share a common inventory of available seats on an aircraft. Seat inventory management is the process of limiting the number of seats made available to each ... -
Airline alliances : the airline perspective
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1999], 1999)Airline alliances are one of the critical issues faced by the airline industry in the 1990s. In this thesis, an overview of the most significant impacts that the formation of alliances have brought to the industry-especially ... -
Airline competition analysis
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)Introduction: The purpose of this study is to investigate how airlines share the passengers, attracted to air transportation. The percentage of these passengers, that one airline will carry in any given market, where it ... -
Airline market share modeling in originating city markets
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989)The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 has not only affected the way airlines compete with each other, it has also changed the distribution channels that were once rigidly controlled by the airlines, travel agents and Civil ... -
Airline network seat inventory control : methodologies and revenue impacts
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1992], 1992)In the airline industry, it is customary for carriers to offer a wide range of fares for any given seat in the same cabin on the same flight. In order to control the number of seats made available in each fare class, ... -
Airline O-D control using network displacement concepts
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)In the airline industry, it is customary for carriers to offer a wide range of fares for any given seat in the same cabin on the same flight. In order to maximize the total network revenue, the airline practices so-called ... -
Airline overbooking performance measurement
([Cambridge, MA : Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)Since the "product" of an airline cannot be stored, the value of every seat which is left empty upon departure is lost forever or "spoiled". In order to compensate for the economic effects of passengers holding a confirmed ... -
Airline pricing and fare product differentiation
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1993], 1993)Airlines offer combinations of price level and purchase restrictions, or fare products, designed to best maximize revenues on their flights. This dissertation provides the first comprehensive examination of the differentiated ... -
Airline reservations forecasting : probabilistic and statistical models of the booking process
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1990], 1990)In this thesis, we develop the necessary statistical framework to produce accurate forecasts of total bookings in a particular fare class on a specific flight number departing on a given date at various points before ... -
Analysis of aircraft fleets of U.S. major airlines since deregulation
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1992, c1992)The purpose of this thesis is to relate the U.S. Major airlines changing use of aircraft to aviation policy and technology since deregulation of the U.S. airline industry enacted in 1978. First, a study of the airline fleet ... -
An application of advanced statistical techniques to forecast the demand for air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1977], 1977)Introduction and objectives: For some time now regression models, often calibrated using the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimation procedure, have become common tools for forecasting the demand for air transportation. ... -
The ASNA formula : a new concept -- cost per passenger mile (kilometer)
(Cambridge Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1978], 1978)The demand for air transport is affected by the usual extraneous factors, demographic, social and economic, as well as those falling properly within the sphere of the industry itself such as the quality of service, safety, ... -
An assessment of deregulation and its effect on the international air transportation community
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)"Multiple entry is now the norm for U.S. international air transportation, except in cases in which the bilateral aviation relations between the United States and the foreign country concerned call for a different approach. ... -
An assessment of deregulation and its effect on the international air transportation community : a 1981 update
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1981], 1981) -
Can airline deregulation work in international air transportation?
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1980, 1980)"I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO JOIN YOU TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE COMPETITIVE INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT SYSTEM -- A TOPIC THAT HAS GENERATED SUBSTANTIAL DEBATE WORLDWIDE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS- IN ... -
Changes in air transport policy : the problem of regulating a market in transition
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1981, 1981) -
Comparison of optimization techniques for origin-destination seat inventory control
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1988], 1988)Airlines have recently realized the importance of an effective seat inventory control system on revenues and profits. Yet, at the same time, there is a lack of practical optimization models for determining the number of ... -
Competition between traditional and low-cost airlines for local hub traffic
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)It is conventional wisdom among informed observers of the U.S. airline industry that the passengers who fly full-service, hub-and-spoke-style, "traditional" airlines like American, United and Delta are significantly different ... -
Competitive impacts of yield management system components : forecasting and sell-up models
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)The focus of revenue management research efforts has historically been on the development of seat optimizers which find revenue maximizing booking limits by fare class in a nested fare class structure. Significantly less ...
