The ground operational processes are the connecting element between aircraft en-route
operations and airport infrastructure. An efficient aircraft turnaround is an essential …

Purpose Airport capacity constraints lead to operational congestion and delays, which have
become major threats to the aviation industry. They impose large costs on airlines and their …

This paper explores the inherent delays of airline schedules resulting from limited buffer
times and stochastic disruptions in airline operations. The reliability of airline schedules is …

Airlines face many different planning processes until the day of operation. The assignment of
aircraft to flights is of central importance and is determined by the optimization of the two …

The impact of operational performance on airline cost structure is empirically investigated
using an aggregate, statistical cost estimation approach. Two distinct sets of operational …

Airline operations are subject to a number of stochastic influences which result into variable
ground and block times for same flights on different days. Our research explores how airline …

Multiple deliveries and long turnaround times on construction sites harm the environment
and disturb on-site productivity and safety. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the …

Purpose Weather events have a significant impact on airport arrival performance and may
cause delays in operations and/or constraints in airport capacity. In Europe, almost half of all …

Efficient specialized vehicle cooperative scheduling is significant for airport operations,
particularly during times of high traffic, which reduces the risk of flight delays and increases …

The efficiency of airport turnaround operations has often been compromised by various
disruptive events out of the airlines' control, such as strikes, which negatively influence the …
