SUBSTANTIAL PROFIT IMPROVEMENTS
TWIST FOR SCHEDULES

Throughout the years, Schedule Consult has profiled itself with eye-catching results. We always find new levels of efficiency and commercial impact.

Projects for major airlines like KLM and Swissair yielded improvements exceeding $100 million.

We see just as much challenge in bringing profit improvements to smaller airlines, where a push of several millions has irreplaceable impact on the health of the company.

We clearly demonstrated that capability for companies like Brussels Airlines, Luxair, VivaAerobus and many others.

UNIQUE APPROACH IN THE INDUSTRY

Our clients are airlines of all sorts and sizes. This illustrates how our approach adapts to each specific situation, always searching for the fundaments of success.

Our analysis blends experience and feeling for the commercial sensitivities with robust quantitative calculations.

By pairing this with an exceptional degree of creativity, we find new breakthrough solutions.

Important difference with most internal and external optimization efforts is the integral cross-company view. This helps us track all kinds of sub-optimizations that can cause an accumulation of hidden inefficiencies.

All these new angles imply that most tools and methods used in Schedule Consult's projects are self developed, including the finest operations research algorithms and technology.

From his early youth, Jaap had a twist for airline schedules, playfully juggling with their complexity.

Later, at the faculty of Aeronautical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology, he aquired his Masters degree in Logistics of Aircraft Utilization.

Schedule Consult turned his passion into profession, but the passion is still there.

In the early years, Schedule Consult was a one man business, but since 1998 he has been supported by a solid a back-office team.

Our current office is based in Essen, a town in the border area of The Netherlands and Belgium, strategically located between the airports of Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Antwerp.

PERSONAL DEDICATION TO EXCEED EXPECTATIONS

Our primary aim is to maintain our high degree of expertise and specialization. It's the only way to keep bringing extra value in the daily work of seasoned company professionals.

With Schedule Consult, you encounter old-fashion business morale, with personal dedication to achieve the results that you need.

That's why our customers feel very comfortable working with us.
