Mission of Scheduling Bibliography Overview of Presentation Definition of the term "Mission of Scheduling" and how it is applied within airline operations. Highlight the inputs required within the scheduling process. Appraise the necessity of scheduling for international airlines Robust Scheduling "An airline's schedule is its core service attribute insofar as safe, reliable delivery of a schedule is what satisfies customers' most basic air travel need; the need to be somewhere else by a certain time." Robust scheduling offers a means of reducing delays and disruption. Robust scheduling aims to build schedules that have an improved performance in operation. The robustness of a schedule is demonstrated through the flexibility within the schedule and its stability (Burke et al. 2010). Wensveen (2011) Scheduling Process models Scheduling is one of the factors that make or break an airline (Wensveen 2007). Fleet routing and flight scheduling are essential to a carrier's profitability, its level of service and its competitive capability in the market (Grosche 2009). What Does Scheduling Aim to Accomplish? Mission of Scheduling Wensveen (2007, p65) “Airline scheduling can be defined as the art of designing system wide flight patterns that provide optimum public service, in both quantity and quality, consistent with the financial health of the carrier”. 21096422 Wing Yin Li 21099536 Wintana Neamen 21079079 Soyun An 21054414 Stefan Hug An airline has the responsibility to provide adequate service to the cities it serves. operate efficiently and economically. Therefore, airline management must continually search for the balance between adequate service and economic strength for the company (Wensveen 2011). Airline schedule planning Definition: Airline scheduling Adequate service Economic strength Sale and competitive effectiveness Operational dependability and efficiency Holloway (2008) Scheduling is a complex process The schedule performs four main tasks: to provide adequate service, provide economic strength, provide for sales and competitive effectiveness, and to provide operational dependability and efficiency Scheduling can make or break an airline Scheduling : Why do international airlines need to undertake it?
