Airport security queues often suffer from inefficiencies that result in long wait times and decreased throughput, especially at peak departure time, affecting both passengers and airlines. This work addresses the problem of reassigning…
Passengers' experience is becoming a key metric to evaluate the air transportation system's performance. Efficient and robust tools to handle airport operations are needed along with a better understanding of passengers' interests and…
The long waiting time at airport security has become an emergent issue as demand for air travel continues to grow. Not only does queuing at security cause passengers to miss their flights, but also reduce the amount of time passengers spend…
We consider the problem of assigning flights to baggage belts in the baggage reclaim area of an airport. The problem is originated by a real-life application in Copenhagen airport. The objective is to construct a robust schedule taking…
With the rapid development of airlines, airports today become much busier and more complicated than previous days. During airlines daily operations, assigning the available gates to the arriving aircrafts based on the fixed schedule is a…
The landing and takeoff operations for an airport at any given day are described in terms of the capacity envelopes associated to runway system configurations, of the scheduled flights along the day and of predefined delay tolerances for…
Gate holding reduces congestion by reducing the number of aircraft present on the airport surface at any time, while not starving the runway. Because some departing flights are held at gates, there is a possibility that arriving flights…
Airport gate assignment is of great importance in airport operations. In this paper, we study the Airport Gate Assignment Problem (AGAP), propose a new model and implement the model with Optimization Programming language (OPL). With the…
A Potts feedback neural network approach for finding good solutions to resource allocation problems with a non-fixed topology is presented. As a target application the airline crew scheduling problem is chosen. The topological complication…
Witnessing the rapid progress and accelerated commercialization made in recent years for the introduction of air taxi services in near future across metropolitan cities, our research focuses on one of the most important consideration for…
In this paper, the scheduling problems of landing and takeoff aircraft on a same runway and on dual runways are addressed. In contrast to the approaches based on mixed-integer optimization models in existing works, our approach focuses on…
Robustness is as important as efficiency in air transportation. All components in the air traffic system are connected to form an interactive network. So, a disturbance that occurs in one component, for example, a severe delay at an…
In practice, both passenger and cargo flights are vulnerable to unexpected factors, such as adverse weather, airport flow control, crew absence, unexpected aircraft maintenance, and pandemic, which can cause disruptions in flight schedules.…
An important operational aspect in airport management is the allocation of fees to aircraft movements on a runway, whether operated by separate operators or under code-sharing agreements. This paper analyses the problem of determining fees…
The severity of natural disasters is increasing every year, impacting many people's lives. During the response phase of disasters, airports are important hubs where relief aid arrives and people need to be evacuated. However, the airport…
Aircraft and crew are two major resources that ensure the smooth operations of airlines. However, with the anticipated growth in the aviation industry, the crew resource is predicted to be insufficient worldwide and has been one of the…
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) operations are expected to transform air transportation while challenging current air traffic management practices. By introducing a novel market-based mechanism, we address the problem of on-demand allocation of…
Time spent in processing zones at an airport are an important part of the passenger's airport experience. It undercuts the time spent in the rest of the airport, and therefore the revenue that could be generated from shopping and dining. It…
Reducing the aircraft boarding time is a common problem not only for airlines, but also for passengers and airports. Group boarding is a popular boarding strategy that separates the passengers into several groups and those groups, which are…
The aircraft routing problem is one of the most studied problems of operations research applied to aircraft management. It involves assigning flights to aircraft while ensuring regular visits to maintenance bases. This paper examines two…
