Abstract:
In this research a model is proposed which determines flight frequency and aircraft routing for an airline network. It is supposed that origin-destination demand, costs, number of aircrafts in the fleet and their capacity, aircraft maximum daily utilization hours and origin-destination fares are given. The model attempts to maximize airline profit and determines flight frequencies, number of passengers carried between two cities and number of passengers who travel with an indirect flight, considering fleet constraints and an operational aircraft routing.The model is tested with a hypothetical numerical example. The results indicate that the model uses maximum aircraft capacity and daily utilization time
