The purpose of this thesis is to plan the short-term aircraft rotation scheduling in according to criteria of profit maximization. Thus, the aircraft rotation scheduling should be planned by considering flying cost for each type and demand after fleet size for each type is fixed from fleet planning and both route and frequency are fixed from route planning.
In this thesis, the aircraft rotation scheduling is solved by using linear program and lagrangian relaxation method to mathematical model for actual problem. The aircraft rotation scheduling in this thesis is ed more efficiency and effectiveness then one by manual method.
The best usefulness of the model used in this thesis is that we can often test the route plan and fleet plan without much efforts when the demand increase or decrease.
