Q

hybrid carrier network

Study These Flashcards
A

feeder within hub and spoke, hub and spoke, point to point short/long range

20
Q

hybrid carrier fleet

Study These Flashcards
A

homogeneous structure

21
Q

hub and spoke advantages

Study These Flashcards
A

reduced costs using larger aircraft, simplified planning maintenance, connecting places with less original volume through network, simplified planning of personnel & spare parts

22
Q

hub and spoke disadvantages

Study These Flashcards
A

passengers dont want connections, peak times require infrastructure performance, high complexity of system, susceptible to interference

23
Q

future model platform airlines (PFA)

Study These Flashcards
A

airline offers entire journey door to door ticket, revenue ancillary, non-aviation

24
Q

future model air transport provider (ATP)

Study These Flashcards
A

internet companies offer door to door ticket, airline provides aircraft to internet companies, airline doesnt sell any tickets, revenue only aviation and ancillary

25
indirect operating costs
landed properties and ground equipment, passage/freight (cargo, handling, booking, sales, marketing), administration and overheads
26
direct operating costs
costs of ownership, cash operating costs (crew, maintenance, navigation, landing, fuel), additional doc (local noise, local emission, emission trading)
27
airport charges
landing, lighting, terminal user, noise, emission, navaid, ground handling, cargo, passenger related, airport tax, inspection, service
28
ADOC
emission trading scheme domestic european flights
29
fleet panning
what type of aircraft, when, and how many
30
route planning
where to fly profitably
31
schedule development
how frequently what time each route
32
stages of airline planning
long term decision of strategic nature - planning and steering activities - knowledge of fleet composition and network plus flight schedule
33
airline planning factors
market, demand, operations, restrictions, quality
34
fleet planning cost factors
operating costs, reserves, flexibility of equipment, maintenance, degree of standardization
35
fleet planning aircraft selection criteria
technical criteria (seats, range, fuel consumption, noise and exhaust emissions), financial criteria (price, residual value, maintenance costs, product support, fleet commonality), other (comfort, crew requirements, airport infrastructure, delivery flexibility), seat configuration, passenger appeal, variability of utility elements, engine position, propeller vs jet, politics
36
fleet planning critical inputs
air traffic forecast, yield forecast, estimated aircraft productivity, operating costs
37
route planning
long term (strategic planning) and short term (tactical planning)
38
route evaluation
will the route be profitable if served, consider connections as well as direct, incremental profitability, technical capability of aircraft, operating cost characteristics of aircraft, political and legal restrictions, bilateral agreements, limited airport slots, competitor strategy
39
route profitability model
used to maximize the total profits, given a set of candidate routes and estimated demands, subject to fleet and capacity constraints
40
schedule development
frequency planning, timetable development, fleet assignment, aircraft rotation planning
41
frequency planning
based on route evaluation process, number of departures per day, number of seats on departure, high freq low seat high convenience high operational cost vs low freq high seat low convenience low operational cost
42
timetable development
provide departures at peak periods, max utilization vs convenience, consider turn time, time zone difference, regulatory constraints
43
schedule map
visual representation of flight legs that incorporate aircraft movement in terms of both geography and time
44
fleet assignment problem
determines type of aircraft for each flight leg departure, minimize combined costs of spill (rejected payload demand). subject to minimum ground time, maintenance, rotation constraints
45
how does airline improve aircraft availability
reduce turn time, reduce flight slack time, consider more routes and red eyes, plan efficient operations
46
how does MRO (maintenance, repair, overhaul) improve aircraft availability
optimize check intervals in line with airline operations, reduce airplane delays, reduce airplane time in hangars
