This study addresses the evaluation of schedule time window of a new frequency for a network carrier airline. The ideal schedule for an airline can involve various criteria that consist of commercial and operational constraints. This study proposes a new integrated Best–Worst Method and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution based on heterogeneous decision making approach for determining the most suitable schedule. This approach combines the advantages of multi-expert multi-criteria decision analysis, which yields heterogeneous information, with a developed decision making model. In addition, a sensitivity analysis is performed to observe the robustness of the proposed approach. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, a real world problem at a network carrier airline in Turkey is presented. The results indicate that the flexibility and applicability of the proposed approach can address real-world problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
