SCHEDULE INTEGRITY CHECKING

Can a small airline, without heavy systems, enjoy the comfort that the published schedule is correct, feasible and open for sales? Of course.

For smaller airlines it can be a great investment to build the resources to check, cross-check and double check a published schedule. One small error can cause an empty flight –it happens !-.

For operational integrity, please visit our schedule robustness page.

Schedule Consult has the resources to help prevent loss of revenues, cancellations due crew shortage, closed fare-classes, etc. with the Schedule Integrity Checking service:

• CONSISTENT WITH RESOURCES: Cross-check that the schedule is feasible with the available capabilities and resources.
  
• COMPLIANCE WITH RESTRAINTS: Cross-check of the schedule with restraints like turn times, maintenance needs, slots, crew limitations, etc..
• CORRECT SALES DISPLAY: Compare of display via the distribution channels with intended production. Possibility to include revenue management guidelines in the check.
• DEPARTMENTS SYNCHRONISED: Different departments use the schedule information for their planning, but in different formats. We can provide these formats. Tapping from one source, we can ensure that all departments are working on exactly the same schedule.
• BUILD YOUR FUTURE: We provide a flexible approach that helps you to gradually perform the tasks in-house via training and support.
  

Schedule Integrity Checking will not replace your planning process. It is an additional safeguard. In conjunction with your team, we define checking moments and warning routines.

IMPOSSIBLE JOB
A small starting airline can work out its schedule in a spread-sheet without any problem. When it grows one step further this becomes a bit more tricky. Especially when intermediate changes start kicking in.

It’s almost impossible to prevent discrepancies. Different copies will circulate at flight ops or in marketing. Sales makes new views to highlight the commercial aspects. Maintenance will single out the ground times, etc.

There is no guarantee that everyone is working on the same plan. This is what a system provides, but only if all departments are linked up. The cost for that can be unreasonably high.
