A decision support system for reducing the strategic risk in the schedule building process for network carrier airline operations
针对网络型航空公司新航班时刻的评估问题，提出一种结合最优最劣法和理想解相似度排序技术的异质决策方法，通过土耳其航空公司的实际案例验证了该方法的灵活性和适用性。
Abstract 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.
