Models for Scheduling Individual Jet Aircraft

  • Published : 2009.08.31

Abstract

This paper considers the short term fleet scheduling problem as described by Keskinocak and Tayur (1998). Fleet scheduling may directly affect the service quality of fractional jet aircraft business. The contributions of this paper are two: (i) we show how their model is easily implemented in a standard modeling language, LINGO, and (ii) an alternate formulation is given which is expected to perform better on large, difficult problems.
