Scheduling airline reserve crew using a probabilistic crew absence and recovery model (2019)
Journal Article
Bayliss, C., De Maere, G., Atkin, J. A., & Paelinck, M. (2020). Scheduling airline reserve crew using a probabilistic crew absence and recovery model. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 71(4), 543-565. https://doi.org/10.1080/01605682.2019.1567649

Airlines require reserve crew to replace delayed or absent crew, with the aim of preventing consequent flight cancellations. A reserve crew schedule specifies the duty periods for which different reserve crew will be on standby to replace any absent...

Pruning Rules for Optimal Runway Sequencing (2017)
Journal Article
De Maere, G., Atkin, J. A. D., & Burke, E. K. (2018). Pruning Rules for Optimal Runway Sequencing. Transportation Science, 52(4), 739-1034. https://doi.org/10.1287/trsc.2016.0733

This paper investigates runway sequencing for real world scenarios at one of the world's busiest airports, London Heathrow. Several pruning principles are introduced that enable significant reductions of the problem's average complexity, without comp... Read More about Pruning Rules for Optimal Runway Sequencing.

A simulation scenario based mixed integer programming approach to airline reserve crew scheduling under uncertainty (2016)
Journal Article
Bayliss, C., De Maere, G., Atkin, J. A. D., & Paelinck, M. (2017). A simulation scenario based mixed integer programming approach to airline reserve crew scheduling under uncertainty. Annals of Operations Research, 252(2), 335-363. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-016-2174-8

© 2016, The Author(s). The environment in which airlines operate is uncertain for many reasons, for example due to the effects of weather, traffic or crew unavailability (due to delay or sickness). This work focuses on airline reserve crew scheduling... Read More about A simulation scenario based mixed integer programming approach to airline reserve crew scheduling under uncertainty.
