Define scope
Read the timetable. Decide which fleets need planning, which period and for which sectors.
 
Select
Use the graphic user interface to add or modify any information. Select all flights or only a subset to plan or improve. Load individual aircraft data with flight records, scheduled maintenance activities, operational deficiency list etc. Revenue data can also be loaded to allow for late changes in fleet assignments.
 
Solve

Aircraft rotations can be built interactively on the screen, or the optimizer can be used for automatic construction. Automatic legality checks are carried out during all routing construction. The optimizer creates routings that maximize aircraft utilization, prioritizes robust connections with few critical aircraft changes and that are maintenance feasible.

The optimizer can also be utilized to consider changes in fleet assignments, and thereby create solutions that accommodate late changes in passenger demand, while maintaining feasible aircraft routings. Furthermore, information about crew pairings can be used to guide the generation of aircraft rotations. It is therefore possible to protect connections that are crucial for maintaining stability from a crew perspective.

 
Evaluate
The output of the optimizer is the most efficient combination of aircraft rotations. Standard reports are available for rapid feedback on key performance indicators. Tailor-made reports for specific requirements are also available.
 
Communicate
When the solution is ready, aircraft rotations are sent to systems for maintenance control and aircraft control. Requests for maintenance activities can be communicated directly to systems at the maintenance hangars or printed and distributed manually.
