Abstract
This communication considers the operation of domestic airlines and more particularly the delay propagation along their operated network. In this communication is first introduced a modelling approach which allows to assess the consequences of perturbations, in general flight delays, on the operation of the network operated by the airline. An optimization process is introduced so that AIRLINES can update on-line and in a global way their flight schedules by performing optimally in-flight delay absorption. Then an ATC procedure is presented to assign time arrival slots to delayed aircraft according to the value of their network arrival delay index. A similar procedure, run by AIRPORT, is used to assign time departure slots at runway to departing aircraft. The whole process configurates a collaborative decision making (CDM) scheme devoted to managing efficiently network flight delays.
