The world of airline network planning is dynamic and demanding. Balancing operational constraints and market demand to build the most profitable schedule is time consuming and challenging. That's why the MP2 suite of airline planning tools is available with Clean Sheet Scheduler technology.
Introducing the Clean Sheet Scheduler
The Clean Sheet Scheduler in MP2 creates schedules - either whole or part - from scratch. By drawing on MP2's constraint manager and maintenance planning features, Clean Sheet Scheduler only creates schedules that are operationally viable.
Here's an overview of the advantages Clean Sheet Scheduler brings airlines:
Boost your network’s profitability
Building a schedule from the ground up based on profitability lets airlines identify and prioritize routes that yield the highest returns. This is possible on a network-wide basis, or on a sub-set of your network. If you're opening a new aircraft base or increasing capacity through additional aircraft, Clean Sheet Scheduler will work out the most profitable way to deploy your resources.
Flexibility and responsiveness
Traditional scheduling methods can be rigid and time consuming, making it challenging to adapt to market changes. Using Clean Sheet Scheduler, airlines can swiftly respond to fluctuations in demand, competition and external factors.
Data driven decision making
Schedules and network planners benefit from being able to generate many more scenarios for comparison than would typically be possible. Adjusting Clean Sheet Scheduler's parameters allows every angle to be examined. This allows airline teams to consider all the options before making decisions. MP2 can consider both OD and local passengers.
Innovative route planning
Using Clean Sheet Scheduler, airline teams can explore unconventional routes, innovative connections and underserved markets with greater ease. This makes it possible to identify potential new customer segments and revenue streams to get ahead of the curve.
Maximizing resource utilization
Clean Sheet Scheduler generates schedules that maximize fleet utilization, a key profitability driver for airlines. Constraints such as aircraft and slot availability can be taken into account to ensure that the results generated maximize contribution.
Clean Sheet Scheduler is included in MP2 AeroStrategizer, our network planning module for airline users. It is also available as a standalone tool.
