The International Air Transport Association is an international industry trade group of airlines headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where the International Civil Aviation Organization is also headquartered. The main objective of the organization is to assist airline companies to achieve lawful competition and uniformity in prices. The Director General is Giovanni Bisignani.IATA was formed in April 1945, in Havana, Cuba. It is the successor to the International Air Traffic Association, founded in The Hague in 1919, the year of the world's first international scheduled services. At its founding, IATA had 57 members from 31 nations, mostly in Europe and North America. Today it has over 240 members from more than 140 nations in every part of the globe.For fare calculations IATA has divided the world in three regions:South, Central and North America. Europe, Middle East and Africa. IATA Europe includes the geographical Europe and Turkey, Israel, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the Pacific Ocean.
IATA
ICAOThe International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. Its headquarters are located in the Quartier International of Montreal, Canada.
The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air navigation, prevention of unlawful interference, and facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation. In addition, the ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly known as the Chicago Convention. See NTSB, TSB, AAIB, BFU, and BEA.
Some Basic Definitions
• Market– An origin-destination airport pair, between which
passengers wish to fly one-way• BOS-ORD and ORD-BOS are different
• Itinerary– A specific sequence of flight legs on which a
passenger travels from their ultimate origin to their ultimate destination
• Fare Classes– Different prices for the same travel service, usually
distinguished from one another by the set of restrictions imposed by the airlines
Some More Definitions
• Spill– Passengers that are denied booking due to
capacity restrictions
• Recapture– Passengers that are recaptured back to the
airline after being spilled from another flight leg
Problem Description
• Given– An airline’s flight schedule– The unconstrained demand for all
itineraries over the airline’s flight schedule
• Objective– Maximize revenues by intelligently spilling
passengers that are either low fare or will most likely fly another itinerary (recapture)
• Equivalent to minimize the total spill costs
RELIABILITY DEFINITION
In general, reliability (systemic def.) is the ability of a person or system to perform and maintain its functions in routine circumstances, as well as hostile or unexpected circumstances
The need for reliability data standards:
Operators need to collect, organize and report reliability data to manydifferent organizations : Manufacturers, suppliers, regulatory authorities,each other.
Some of the benefits of reliability data exchange :• Assist operators and manufacturers to attain and maintain higher
reliability through trend monitoring.• Facilitate maintenance program development, escalation and
deescalation.• Determine which modification has a better payback by comparing removal and failure rates of operators incorporating various Service Bulletins/modifications.• Determine if certain problem areas are unique to an operator or
if others are experiencing the same problems.
ETOPS
• ETOPS is an acronym for Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards, an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rule permitting twin-engined commercial air transports to fly routes that, at some points, are farther than a distance of 60 minutes' flying time from an emergency or diversion airport with one engine inoperative.
• This rule allows twin-engined airliners—such as the Airbus A300, A310, A320, A330 and A350 families, and the Boeing 737, 757, 767, 777 and 787 and Tupolev Tu-204 —to fly long-distance routes that were previously off-limits to twin-engined aircraft. ETOPS operation has no direct correlation to water nor distance over water. It refers to single-engine flight times between diversion airfields—regardless as to whether such fields are separated by water or land.
Aircraft maintenance checks
A CheckThis is performed approximately every month. This check is usually done overnight at an airport gate. The actual occurrence of this check varies by aircraft type, the cycle count (takeoff and landing is considered an aircraft "cycle"), or the number of hours flown since the last check. The occurrence can be delayed by the airline if certain predetermined conditions are met.500 Flight Hours (FH).
Aircraft maintenance checks
B Check
This is performed approximately every 3 months. This check is also usually done overnight at an airport gate. A similar occurrence schedule applies to the B check as to the A check.
Aircraft maintenance checks
C Check
This is performed approximately every 12-18 months or 2500 Flight Hours (FH). This maintenance check puts the aircraft out of service and requires plenty of space - usually at a hangar at a maintenance base. The schedule of occurrence has many factors and components as has been described, and thus varies by aircraft category and type.
Aircraft maintenance checksD Check
This is the heaviest check for the airplane. This check occurs approximately every 4-5 years. This is the check that, more or less, takes the entire airplane apart for inspection. This requires even more space and time than all other checks, and must be performed at a maintenance base. Often, older aircraft being phased out of a particular airlines' fleet are stored or scrapped upon reaching their next check.
