Carmen Integrated Operations Control is a platform for integrated disruption management that puts the passenger in focus. It does so by integrating solvers for the recovery of crew, aircraft and passengers. Solutions are then generated that are operationally feasible and provide the best service to passengers.

Increased Service Level
The airline will increase the control over the fleet utilization on the day of operation and to re-accommodate passengers so that there is minimum effect on the business. For example, the system can decide what flights to cancel or delay and can also rebook passengers to other flights based on passenger name records for each individual passenger. As a result, prioritized passengers, such as gold card holders, group travel, or unaccompanied minors can be prioritized.

Reduced Costs
The direct cost for delaying one flight from Europe to Asia overnight is USD 150,000. On top of this comes the indirect cost of the airline's public image being negatively affected. One major airline estimates the total financial impact of delays around EUR 255,000,000. Whilst every minute of delay is estimated to cost around EUR 500. An integrated operations control system will enable the airline to react to operational disruption faster, generating better quality solutions that protect operation and profit.

Open Architecture
Carmen Integrated Operations Control uses an open architecture which allows for smooth integration with existing systems for operations control. The architecture also makes it possible to connect to other systems used for gates, catering, other stations, by alliance partners etc. The scalability makes it possible to implement the system step by step. Along with the ability to add solvers on top of already existing systems it all sums up to a low-risk implementation.
