“News from Industrial Optimizers”
Enable Route Profitability
As millions of passengers plan their travels around the world, Industrial Optimizers took some time to reflect on the question; “What matters most when passengers make their choice of airline to travel with?”
Various answers spring to mind, for example; seat pitch, customer experience, baggage cost. But, the most likely reply would probably be: “A low overall ticket price!” To stay in a competitive advantage, it is vital to monitor all of the airline’s revenues and costs.
Budget and Route Profitability Enhancements
The MP² system has the market’s most advanced features for monitoring revenue and cost. The budget and route profitability enhancements make it easy to compare the values from the budget with the actual outcome. It also allows for a very fast schedules based budgeting process, where budget values may be defined on aggregated levels.

New Agreement with Oman Air
Stockholm (August the 22nd, 2017) – Oman Air and Industrial Optimizers have signed an agreement concerning;
The MP² AeroFleetAssigner optimizer, including the functionality for scheduling and Network analysis.
“We are very happy with this agreement and excited to work with Oman Air, an airline that is renowned for their high quality of service”, says Tore Jenner, CEO at Industrial Optimizers. “The cooperation with Oman Air is strategically important to us. This agreement will enable us to strengthen our position in the Middle-East.”
Oman Air’s fleet consists of a wide range of aircraft types with different seat configurations. Due to the variety of possible aircraft assignments it is a challenge to optimize the aircraft utilization without a proper optimization tool. Oman Air decided to do some research on the various optimization software solutions in the market and decided upon the robust MP² AeroFleetAssigner*.
“We compared solutions from different providers and became convinced that Industrial Optimizers offers a reliable product,” said Paul Gregorowitsch, Oman Air CEO. “The many functions of the MP² AeroFleetAssigner meet our demands for high quality and cost savings alike which are the key aspects of our continuing success.”
About Oman Air
Oman Air is the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman. The airline is a business enterprise committed to the basic objective of providing safe, reliable and profitable air transport services for passengers and cargo as well as other aviation related services.

*The MP² AeroFleetAssigner is designed to be used for both long term fleet assignment and for “closer-to operation” assignment scenarios. Each individual leg in a rotation is considered in the optimization, at both the contribution and the constraint levels. Therefore, only feasible rotations will ever be produced.
The Code-share challenge
Every year, around 30 million code-share flights are operated and published. With its commercial advantages this number is increasing, as is the number of changes to airline schedules being made each season. Keeping partner schedules synchronized for every flight, on every day, is an administrative challenge for any code-sharing airline.
The MP² code-share software, from Industrial Optimizers, finds and removes discrepancies between partner schedules, identifies publication differences and reduces the time and work needed for code- share managers. It is run with standard SSIM files or published schedules (such as those from OAG) and it is available as licensed software or as a service, both producing synchronized industry standard schedule files.
The easiest way to see what the MP² code-share software can do is to contact us for the “Code-share Challenge” and we will provide the details for running the service on your data.

Welcome Nishita!
Nishita Vegi, 22, had plans to become an engineer with the Indian Air Force when she received the news that she was one of 5 students, from amongst 3000 applicants, who had won a scholarship for a Master’s Degree from The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)in Stockholm, Sweden.
“ I have really got everything I wished for”, said Nishita, upon learning of her good fortune.
The KTH Scholarship Master Challenge gives a full scholarship (to the selected student) to complete a two-year programme in aerospace engineering, that goes towards a Master of Science degree.
As a final, vital part of her degree, the Master’s Thesis, Nishita decided to combine her interest in optimization with practical experience from working with a company;
“I fell in love with optimization when I got to learn more of what can be done with it”, said Nishita.
As an expert in the field of optimization, Industrial Optimizers was a natural first choice, for Nishita, when deciding to what companies she should send out her applications to.
She is looking forward to integrating her knowledge of optimization in a thesis on Airline Codeshare Management*. Amongst other items, she will look into topics such as:
-Why Codeshare and with which airlines?
-What are the factors that matter the most when selecting a Codeshare partner?
-Revenue split up between the two partners and agreements.
Nishita originally comes from the southern part of India but, travelling with her family, grew up in many different places. As a result, she has always been open to learning new languages and getting to know different cultures. Her interest in aviation came early;
“When I was a kid, my uncle showed me a plane. From the start I knew I was going to work with something related to airplanes”, and her interest was built upon during her technology studies for a Bachelor of Science degree in India.
Nishita also has a great interest in business management. In parallel with her studies, she managed to run a company that organized technical and cultural events.
The KTH scholarship, which also is sponsored by SAAB Aerospace, has opened up many doors for her. As a prize winning student, she explores the city of Stockholm and its environs, meeting new people from a variety of cultures and from many different countries. In fact, in her first month in this new country, Nishita had the opportunity to meet many interesting people, including Christer Fugelsang, the Swedish astronaut!
Nishita is also a Student Ambassador for KTH. Her main task, as a student Ambassador, along with other student ambassadors is to inform about the programs available at KTH and the student life therein.
“The cherry on the top was the conference that was held with over 100 astronauts. I got to meet astronauts from the ASE (Association of Space Explorers) that held their Planetary Congress at KTH and got a one-on-one chat with astronaut Anna Fisher from the US. Meeting all these people who are exploring space and being at the forefront of aeronautics and space sciences was truly amazing!”, Said Nishita.

*Airline Codeshare Management in the MP2 system
There are two principle areas in the MP2 system, administration of existing Codeshare arrangements, and decision support for selecting new Codeshare arrangements.
Airline Codeshare Management selection
The system provides two ways to determine best Codeshare partners and flight;
Simulation and What-if studies for tentative partner arrangements.
Optimization software to determine best partners and flights.
This also includes a Connection maximizer suitable for improving partner connections.
Airline Codeshare Management administration
-MP² holds information of the airline’s various Codeshare agreements.
-MP² supports the management of Marketing flights for the airline’s own flights.
-Marketing flights in the system is made either through user editing or by loading code share partners’ SSIM files. The system automatically performs comparisons between a partner’s schedule data with the airline’s own schedule data, identifying any mismatches between Marketing flights and their respective Operational flights.
