Abstract
We present the Flight and Maintenance Planning (FMP) problem in its military variant and applied to long term planning. The problem has been previously studied for short- and medium-term horizons only. We compare its similarities and differences with previous work and prove its complexity. We generate scenarios inspired by the French Air Force fleet. We formulate an exact Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model to solve the problem in these scenarios and we analyse the performance of the solving method under these circumstances. A heuristic was built to generate fast feasible solutions, that in some cases were shown to help warm-start the model.
