Market share model for a multi-airport system
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, ©1993, ©1993)
Because capacity at existing airports was limited and/or because the cost of congestion was becoming unacceptable, several large cities around the world have had to build a second or third major commercial airport to keep ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Routings in a schedule space map : an interactive graphics-based implementation
([Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1987], 1987)
Methods used for scheduling aircraft itineraries to desired maintenance bases and similar methods for specifying delivery routings from any number of sources to any number of required locations have been developed. The ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
System design for express airlines
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1987], 1987)
In this thesis we investigate and analyze express airlines for the purpose of system design. Chapter 1 contains a taxonomy for express carriers that is built around elemental system components, distinguishable from one ...
