Ground holding optimisation and air schedule recovery /

Abstract

Thesis (PhDMathematics)--University of South Australia, 2011. Includes bibliographic references. Ground holding is one of the safest and most effective management strategies available to airlines and airspace regulators when their carefully designed schedules are disrupted. When the already limited capacity of airports and airspace is restricted, most commonly by adverse weather, flights are delayed by keeping them on the ground at their point of departure. Flight delays propagate through the schedule because delayed flights may have connections to many successors. Usually disruptions can be anticipated, and it is necessary for services to be rescheduled as quickly as possible.
