Unified strategic planning

SchedulAir can optimize your strategic decisions:

• Fleet planning optimizes the fleet composition needed to fly a given schedule.
• Network planning finds the most profitable set of flights to be flown, enabling you to evaluate new routes and potential hub structures.

SchedulAir unifies the above planning objectives with crew and maintenance resource planning by considering their respective costs and constraints.

Variety of scheduling methods

SchedulAir offers various scheduling methods to best fit the needs of different airlines. You can optimize your schedule using the daily, weekly, or fully dated methods. These methods can be combined to attain the best results, while covering any schedule exceptions (e.g. weekends or special events). The fully dated method considers initial and final aircraft positions, as well as maintenance constraints.

Unified constraint satisfaction and cost consideration

Due to its unique Unified Optimization, SchedulAir is the only system available today enabling you to simultaneously account for the constraints and costs of:

• Aircraft, such as initial and final positions, daily availability, utilization limits, fleet mixing, maintenance costs and constraints, number of seats, range, block and turn times, fuel and oil costs.
• Airports, for example landing fees, runway and curfew constraints.
• Passengers, including revenue from forecasted demand and through-flights, minimum connection times, spill, and recapture.
• Crew, customized to your needs and based on several regulation families (e.g. CAO-48, CAP-371, EU/JAR OPS 1, and FARs) and crew costs such as utilization, wages, per diems, allowances, standby, deadhead, and hotels.

You can easily modify all of these constraints and further experiment with various changes in order to evaluate different scenarios and their impact on your schedule and profits. Additional constraints can also be tailored to your individual needs.

Accounting for UTC, local times, and DST

With SchedulAir it is easy to switch between local time and Universal Time Coordinated for all views, reports and file exports. Likewise, arrival and departure times are automatically adjusted for the Daylight Saving Time offsets of each station, and flight legs automatically split to reflect such adjustments.
