ABOUT SCHEDULES

Schedules are a key factor in an airline's profits.

They influence many aspects of the company economy like the commercial impact, cost efficiencies, punctuality and indirectly the company's strategic position.

At the same time, schedules also form a threshold for change. So many aspects are tied together via the schedules that one adjustment can easlily lead to a chain reaction of other changes.

That makes schedule optimization one of the most complex topics in airline management.
