In this paper, we provide a novel application of synthetic control methods by offering two
major modifications to the existing methodological framework. We provide the first complete …

Flight delays persist and spread in airport networks due to high interconnectivity in the air
transportation infrastructure. How quickly delay propagates between two airports is …

Flight delays are major sources of disruptions in airline operations. To mitigate them, day-
ahead aircraft routing aims to create flight sequences that can absorb delays and minimize …

It has been widely recognized that delay propagation is a widespread phenomenon in air
transport systems. Regional air transport systems are vulnerable to severe systemic delay …

Following the events related to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, increasing air traffic
also increases turnaround agents' activity at airports. Turnaround operations are among the …

The constant growth in the demand of air cargo and air passenger nowadays has imposed
many new challenges to the operations and management in the aviation industry. Both the …

Flight delays are one of the most discussed, yet not fully understood, topics in the aviation
industry. In this paper, we shed more light into propagation of flight delays by providing a …

Air transportation systems are exposed to disruptions, which have significant impact on
operations. Airlines operate tight schedules to maximise resource utilisation, however, the …

The cabin crew pairing problem is one of the major challenges faced by airlines.
Traditionally, multi-class cabin crews are scheduled on a team basis separated by aircraft …

This paper offers a simple approach for identifying propagated departure delays and
measuring their contribution to arrival delays. Under our approach, a propagated departure …
