| Abstract: | The article deals with the airline operations management system ALTITUDE, a three- module optimization package for aircraft routing, crew pairing, and monthly work assignment, and with Air Transat, the largest charter company in Canada that uses it. The system helped the airline to streamline planning and scheduling and to focus on its core business and expansion rather than internal operational problems. ALTITUDE ensures cost-effective solutions by optimizing planning and scheduling problems and allowing easy interfacing among them. |
