SPECIALIST NETWORK EXPERTISE

UNDERSTANDING THE RESTRAINTS, SEEING REALISTIC POSSIBILITIES
Schedule planning is about finding the best compromise in a jungle of commercial opportunities and restraints, while manoeuvring between very narrow economic margins.

Our strength lays in not just understanding the weight of all factors, but also knowing the options beyond them.

This ensures that ideas are realistic.

It also ensures that obstacles are not taken for granted. Our experience helps to find new ways to secure the needs behind commercial wishes or restraints.

SOLID AND SHARP METHODS

BRINGING ADDED VALUE TO THE DAILY EFFORTS OF DEPARTMENTS
It takes a special approach to add value to the efforts already delivered by company professionals.

Key element in our methods is to see the network as one unified entity, not as a collection of individual routes. Resolving sub-optimizations is an important source of new profits.

Important examples:
NETWORK CALC: Profitaility calculations specific for airline networks. Developed as answer to the discrepancies between traditional profit and loss calculations and the practice of network management. More...

7-LEVEL PROFIT SCREENING: Thorough and comprehensive format for screening the profitability of the entire production. Systematic evaluation of all decision variables in network planning, providing far more exhausting insight than route P&L's ever can. More....

TRAFFIC FORECASTING: High accuracy revenue estimates, even in a data-poor environment. Beats expensive high profile solutions, especially in new markets. More....

SENSITIVITY BASED TRADE-OFFS: No matter how accurate the profit forecast, reality is volatile, so our recommendations thoroughly weigh the sensitivity of assumptions.



UNIQUE OPERATIONS RESEARCH TOOLS

A strong tool-kit with everything needed to handle and analyse the massive data streams involved in network optimization, plus a unique set of optimization models.

STRAIGHT PROJECT MENTALITY

When involving external expertise, you want to be sure that you get value for your money. Count on a straight deal, no strings attached and full dedication to deliver results.
