Flight schedules are the key to planning and executing an airline's operation. With each schedule, the airline defines its day to day operations and commits its resources to satisfying its customers' air travel needs. When developing a schedule, the airline aims to provide efficient service to its customers while maximizing its own profit. Key to both of these goals are keeping three concurrent processes on schedule and synchronized with one another. These processes are: the movement of each of aircraft along its assigned route, the movement of each crew along its assigned route and the movement of passengers from their origin to destination. This paper addresses a Monte Carlo simulation model which was developed and used to help one airline evaluate its on-time arrival performance. Using the model, the authors and airline operations planners were able to examine alternative strategies for maintaining high on-time performance without increasing costs.
