“…Doganis (2010) classifies labour as the first major cost and the fuel the second major one. Bazargan (2010) suggests that a surge in fuel prices imposes an enormous impact on airlines throughout the world stressing that fuel and crew constitute the major drivers of operating costs of airlines.…”

This paper presents a summary of the international literature published on the benefits of aviation weather services. Aviation operations are highly sensitive to weather conditions. Information on weather conditions helps meteorologists, pilots, navigators, airline companies and businesses to ensure safe flights and save money by reducing some of the stringent requirements related to carrying extra fuel loads. The development of constantly updated flight plans with respect to available weather information regarding changing wind and general weather conditions can enable aircraft to use fuel more efficiently and navigate their planes in safer environments that avoid turbulence and make air flights comfortable to the travelling public. The summary literature presented in this paper illustrates the importance of the work of meteorologists in the production of relevant information and data that are accessible to pilots and navigators. The pooling of meteorological information, data and other resources by member countries of the World Meteorological Organisation represents a classic case of international cooperation that has ensured relatively safe and comfortable air flights across the world since the era of international air travel in the 20 th Century speeding up the process of the more historically-recent globalisation.

“…Advances in computer technology and optimization models have allowed more complex issues to be addressed and overcome; thus, airline-related problems can be solved in a shorter period of time. These models have saved millions of dollars, and many airline companies have established operations research departments [2].…”

This study examines the crew pairing problem, which is one of the most comprehensive problems encountered in airline planning, to generate a set of crew pairings that has minimal cost, covers all flight legs and fulfils legal criteria. In addition, this study examines current research related to crew pairing optimization. The contribution of this study is developing heuristics based on an improved dynamic-based genetic algorithm, a deadhead-minimizing pairing search and a partial solution approach (less-costly alternative pairing search). This study proposes genetic algorithm variants and a memetic algorithm approach. In addition, computational results based on real-world data from a local airline company in Turkey are presented. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can successfully handle medium sets of crew pairings and generate higher-quality solutions than previous methods.

“…Spill costs represent lost opportunity costs that arise if passenger demand exceeds the aircraft capacity and, thus, potential revenue is lost [3]. An optimum solution is found in [4] using the basic Fleet Assignment Model (FAM). FAM had been used in the case study in Turkey, where the study uses real data of Turkish Airlines [7].…”
