3. These are passenger airlines, mostly LCC/CNC, that also offer freight services with cargo
carried in belly holds of passenger aircraft. In addition to belly capacity on passenger aircraft,
some European and Asian carriers also operate dedicated freighter aircraft on both scheduled and

4. It is an organization that provides commercial air transport of passenger, cargo, or both. Most
are scheduled operations, as opposed to charter
operations that operate flights on demand.

III. IDENTIFICATION (2PTS. EACH)
1. Assignment—Specific aircraft fleet types are assigned to the basic schedule of services so
that capacity meets estimated demand subject to constraints. Choices might involve a
wide-body versus narrow-body aircraft on a particular route segment.
2. Estimates the total market demand in terms of passengers traveling in each city-pair. An
international network airline might evaluate 30,000 origin and destination markets.
Historical data, trends, seasonality, aggregate pricing, and other macroeconomic data are
combined to create individual city-pair demand forecasts.
3. The flight schedule seeks to maximize network revenues by matching flights with
passenger demand.
4. The flight schedule is subject to disruptions, particularly for weather and aircraft
mechanical problems. The schedule must incorporate sufficient slack resources to absorb
delays and provide competitive on-time service.
5. From the Market Size forecasts, the airline’s individual market share is estimated. Based
on its relative quality of service versus competitors, the software estimates the share of
the market the airline can expect to capture.
