ORGANIZATION
Airline scheduling is complex enough as it is. Therefor the decision process must be lean and
free of overlaps in competence.
Our approach is to follow the exact needs of the process and define responsibilities and tasks based on the needed functionalities.
INFORMATION SELECTION
No greater risk to the quality of schedule decisions than involving irrelevant or incomplete
information, even if the information itself is or looks interesting.
When it comes to network planning information, more is not always better. Being critical on the selection of data is the basis for a good planning process.
Our added value is that we judge available information from this perspective.
ADHOC
Planning regular flights allows elaborate and repeated reflection. Ad-hoc production planning
or a combination with charter series allows less overview. Ad-hoc planning has a high sequential
nature.
Our approach will help to reduce the impact of these limitations. This starts with optimizing the long term planning.
This in combination with the right short term policies, forms the basis for a profitable ad-hoc operation.
