TD33.2 A Simulation Model for Task Based Maintenance Design Swain Ottman --- UPS, Louisville, KY , USA

We present a simulation model of the maintenance structure of an air¨ transportation network. The model is data driven, allowing different¨ assignments of maintenance assets to airports to be tested against¨ various schedules, allowing an airline to evaluate the effectiveness¨ of different task-based maintenance strategies.

TD33.3 Feeder Aircraft Network Design Scott Liu --- UPS, Louisville, KY ,

I present a method of designing a feeder aircraft routing network,¨ concentrating on providing service to outlying airports (those¨ airports outside the normal fleet network) while minimizing the cost¨ to the system. I examine several heuristics and linear/non-linear¨ programming techniques to solve the problem.
