Decisal Ltd exhibited at:

• IATA 125th Schedules Conference,
• 19-22^nd November 2009,
• Booth 12 (next to the Main Meeting Room entrance),
• The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver, Canada.

At this exhibition Decisal launched novel tools for its product SchedulAir, including:

• Unified aircraft and crew station activity view. With this you can inspect and manipulate when crew change aircraft, thereby controlling the potential bottlenecks (which can lead to flight delay propagation).
• Fleet and network planning tools. These enable you to unify strategic planning decisions for flights, aircraft, and crew, thereby maximizing your overall resource utilization.
• Tools to unify schedule development between and within departments, including comparison and merging of scenarios.
• Unified scenario analysis for flights, aircraft, and crew schedules, as well as their costs and constraints. This provides you with overall control of your scheduling decisions.
• Codeshare flight analysis, enabling you to evaluate partners' and competitors' schedules.

SchedulAir provides a unique, powerful solution for airline scheduling. It is the only system on the market that can unify the optimization of the following stages:

• fleet assignment,
• aircraft rotations with maintenance,
• crew scheduling (pairing).

This unification results in an overall optimal and robust schedule.

Existing scheduling technologies only achieve "sequential integration", where the output of one stage is the input of the next. They therefore optimize each stage independently, one after the other, disregarding downstream consequences and resulting in an overall suboptimal schedule.

In comparison with current "sequential integration" solutions, SchedulAir's Unified Optimization enables airlines to:

• increase their overall scheduling profit by up to $150 per flight,
• reduce their average delays and associated costs,
• improve their scheduling work-cycle.

SchedulAir produces robust schedules by accounting for expected flight delays and reducing their overall impact.

SchedulAir is customizable to a client's individual scheduling requirements and the standards and rules in operation. A bureau service can also be provided to investigate specific scenarios or future schedule planning.

At the core of the SchedulAir solution is a complex mathematical algorithm invented at Imperial College London and fully owned by Decisal. The technology behind SchedulAir is currently Patent Pending.
