APPLICATIONS OF OPERATIONAL RESEARCH IN AIRLINE MANAGEMENT AND SCHEDULING

Abstract

This study base on AIR INDIA Airline Management and Scheduling examined certain well-known problems and their solutions, as well as current research in the field and de veloping areas of future significance. The Vogel’s approximation method and the mod ified distribution method used to add new routes. The Hungarian Assignment Model and Critical Path Method used to solve airlines problem The Dijkstra Algorithm used to identify the shortest path. The paper has divided into four sections. In the first, the Vogel’s approximation and the Modi approach is used to create additional routes. In the second, crew is assigned to different flights in order to optimise profit. In the third case, aircraft routing problem is solved, and in the fourth, an aircraft maintenance problem in which 24 activities opted and determine which are critical or not.It addresses airline scheduling flaws, aims to boost crew member productivity through a crew assignment model, and reduces time spent on non-critical operations, resulting in a rise in airline profit.
