This paper provides a comprehensive economic analysis of scheduling decisions in an airline network. Although it is widely believed that the growth of hub-and-spoke networks has raised fight frequencies, the only analysis of this question is contained in a recent paper by Berechman and Shy...

We develop an efficient matheuristic algorithm for the Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP). The ALP aims to schedule aircraft landings such that the total deviation from target arrival times is minimized. We propose a Relax-and-Solve (R&S) algorithm that operates by performing a set of "relax" and...
