The role of the airbus A380-800 aircraft in a full-service network airline’s commercial operations and route network design: the case of Thai airways international
Abstract: The global air transport industry plays a fundamental role in facilitating economic growth, this is especially so in developing countries, tourism, commerce and linking countries and regions.1 Air transportation is defined as the transportation of persons, goods, property or postal mail by air. It comprises two primary segments, the transport of passengers as well as the carriage of air cargo consignments. Each segment of the industry has its own unique characteristics, yet the two are difficult to consider in isolation, therefore air transportation is often referred to as a “bi-polar” industry.2 In 2016, the world’s airlines carried around 3.79 billion passengers and 52.6 million tonnes of air cargo.3 Furthermore, the air transport industry is regarded as being indispensable for tourism,4 which is also a strong driver of economic growth.5‒7 In 2016, around 55 per cent of all overnight visitors travelled to their destination by air. 4 In the global airline industry, passenger airlines have defined and implemented two principal business models: the full-service network carrier (FSNC) and the low-cost carrier (LCC) models.8,9 Whyte & Lohmann10 note that a ‘business model is a conceptual structure or plan that defines how a company conducts its business’. The full-service network carrier’s business model forms the focus of the present study.
Robust fleet planning under stochastic demand
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an innovative airline fleet planning concept that is capable of considering the long-term stochastic nature of air travel demand while generating meaningful results in reasonable computation times.
Prospects of the A380 second-hand market
TL;DR: In this article, a fleet-planning-based approach is applied to an airline to determine the economic viability of introducing a used A380 into an airline fleet, and the results indicate that, when compared to a new A380, the discounted used variant can be a reasonable alternative.
Can low-cost long-haul flight operations be profitable?
Jost Daft,Sascha Albers +1 more
TL;DR: Entrepreneurs as well as established airlines seeking new growth paths are among those in the industry that follow what seems to be a trial-and-error process in launching and operating low-cost carrier (LCC) LHF airlines.
Dissertation
A Decision Support Methodology for Strategic Planning Under Uncertainty in Maritime Transportation
TL;DR: Various optimization models solving the fleet size and mix problem are presented where the best suited model structure related to the topic is chosen and the main findings imply that only relative small changes of the input parameters resulted in very different decisions.

A profitability analysis of low-cost long-haul flight operations
Jost Daft,Sascha Albers +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct a founded route profitability analysis for operational scenarios of low-cost, long-haul services that includes a systematical evaluation of potential revenue sources, and suggest that regular low cost, longhaul operations are possible if the traditional full-service carrier product is effectively unbundled and suitable trunk routes can be identified.
