Research on Airline Route Scheme Optimization Model

Applying for new airline routes is an important airline decision-making. Key points are considered, such as airline's operating cost, traffic forecasting and airport capacity restriction. The airline route scheme optimization model is proposed based on the set-pair-analysis method. Then a practical problem is analyzed. The result shows that this method is simple and convenient, and its ranking rule is intuitional. It introduces a simple and effective appraisal approach of airline route scheme optimization.
