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 ...
Revenue impacts of airline yield management
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1992], 1992)
In the highly competitive airline industry today, Yield or Revenue Management is extremely important to the survival of any carrier. Since fares are generally matched by all carriers to be competitive, the ability of an ...
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 ...
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 ...
Solving the schedule transition problem using optimization techniques
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1988], 1988)
A new algorithm is introduced for effectively solving the airline schedule transition problem, which involves efficiently re-routing aircraft in order to balance the number and the types of aircraft at each station at the ...
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 ...
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. ...
Presentations from the 1994 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting
([Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
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, ...
