Overall control of network planning and fleet decisions

NetBoost offers a unique global view of network planning and fleet decision making. The network planning component maximizes profit by selecting optimal: markets to serve, frequencies, and arrival and departure times. The profit is computed as passenger revenue minus the fleet costs. The passenger revenue is based on forecasted demand and market share considering the competition. The costs are based on the fleet assignment decisions.

Superior forecasting of passengers and competition

NetBoost uses an advanced probabilistic logit model to analyze passenger choices (e.g. time, price, and airline preferences) and forecast demand, while considering the effects of competing flights. The combination of this powerful forecasting with the Unified Optimization make NetBoost the leading network planning tool in the market.

Unified constraint satisfaction and cost consideration

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

• Aircraft, such as initial and final positions, daily availability, fleet mixing, maintenance costs and constraints, seats per compartment, range, block and turn times, fuel and oil costs.
• Airports, for example landing fees as well as slot, runway, and curfew constraints.
• Passengers, including revenue from origin and destination (O&D) demand, minimum connection times, spill, and recapture.

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.
