| Abstract: | This paper presents a model for the airlines' optimal fuel management strategies. The model determines the optimal amount of ferry fuel to be loaded at each airport for a given aircraft route. the problem is formulated in the form of a mathematical program with an objective function that captures the trade-off between cost saving associated with loading excess fuel at airports with lower fuel prices, and extra fuel burn cost and extra maintenance coat associated with flying the aircraft with heavier fuel weights. |
