Description

This 6 UoC course is offered in Semester 1 and focuses on: airline ground operations (incl. pax facilitation and aircraft turnaround operations), delay data collection, delay data analysis, delay development modelling, airline networks and the emerging concept of robust airline scheduling.

The rationale of this course is to provide students with practical airline operations knowledge, coupled with the use of maths models in delay analysis and lead to the study of ways to improve the robustness of airline schedule in actual operations.

Two exams (mid and final) are used to assess students' understanding of airline operations, principles of delay modelling (analytics), delay propagation modelling and airline schedule robustness. Prior statistical knowledge and airline operations experiences are ideal but not essential for this course.
