IATA Slot Conference, Prague: We’re all about network profitability

APM’s at the heart of avi­a­tion indus­try this week: We’re exhibit­ing at the bi-annu­al IATA Slot Con­fer­ence, which begins in Prague today.

Our focus for this event is net­work profitably.

In par­tic­u­lar, we’re demon­strat­ing how APM’s pow­er­ful suite of sim­u­la­tion tools, devel­oped by our team in Gene­va, real­ly help.

When it comes to fore­cast­ing prof­itabil­i­ty, Prof­it­Sim is a tool that inspires confidence.

A pow­er­ful fore­cast­ing appli­ca­tion, Prof­it­Sim let’s users test the prof­itabil­i­ty of sched­ule sce­nar­ios – from a sin­gle rota­tion, sec­tor or route, right through to an entire network.

It’s flex­i­ble too. For instance, Prof­it­Sim can cal­cu­late pro­ject­ed flight rev­enue fore­casts based on seat load factors.

The appli­ca­tion is able to cal­cu­late rev­enue, direct oper­at­ing costs and allo­cate over­heads to gen­er­ate a net prof­itabil­i­ty forecast.

Cru­cial­ly, Prof­it­Sim helps air­lines iden­ti­fy poten­tial­ly loss-mak­ing and low-mar­gin flights; deliv­er­ing vital insight that informs flight oper­a­tion decision-making.

It’s the com­bi­na­tion of APM’s sim­u­la­tion tools that make them such valu­able oper­a­tional and strate­gic tools.

Take Sched­uleS­im with Prof­it­Sim, for instance: By com­bin­ing the pow­er of APM’s sched­ule sce­nario plan­ning tool and fore­cast­ing appli­ca­tion, air­lines can pin­point prof­itabil­i­ty by net­work, sched­ule, fleet, route, flight type and destination.

Sched­uleS­im offers the capac­i­ty to cre­ate poten­tial­ly lim­it­less sce­nar­ios, export them to Prof­it­Sim, and then analyse each sce­nario against a cus­tomis­able data­base of sup­pli­er and direct oper­at­ing costs in order to cal­cu­late the prof­itabil­i­ty per scenario.

Once the best sched­ule option’s been select­ed, Sched­uleS­im allows users to pre­pare and sub­mit slot sub­mis­sions and export the select­ed sched­ule sce­nario into Sched­ule­Plan­ner (or an airline’s cur­rent live pro­duc­tion sched­ule software).

Prof­it­Sim and Sched­uleS­im are just two of the many rea­sons airline’s world­wide rely on APM’s suite of sched­ul­ing and slot man­age­ment, and flight­watch, crew­ing and com­mer­cial software.

So, if you’re at Slot Con­fer­ence this week, be sure to stop by to take a look at Prof­it­Sim at Slot Con­fer­ence this week.

New algorithmic approach generates up to 5 per cent gain in crewing performance

APM’s Dr Nik Eggen­berg will demon­strate how the adop­tion of ‘col­umn gen­er­a­tion’ algo­r­tihms with­in crew sim­u­la­tion soft­ware can deliv­er a per­for­mance improve­ment of between 3–5 per cent when he speaks at AGIFORS’ Crew Man­age­ment con­fer­ence in Frank­furt lat­er this month.

Using evi­dence drawn from real-life air­line case stud­ies, Nik will high­light how an opti­miser apply­ing meta­heuris­tic col­umn gen­er­a­tion, such as that adopt­ed in APM’s crew­ing sim­u­la­tion envi­ron­ment CrewSim, can gen­er­ate greater effi­cien­cies in the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of crew estab­lish­ments, opti­mi­sa­tion and post-flight per­for­mance analysis.

He will explain that a col­umn gen­er­a­tion-based opti­miser enables users to tack­le mul­ti­ple-objec­tive opti­mi­sa­tion one KPI at a time.

By trans­lat­ing algo­rithms into a dynam­ic user-friend­ly inter­face — with graphs enabling easy iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the best pare­to-opti­mal solu­tion and post-flight per­for­mance analy­sis — users are able to eas­i­ly iden­ti­fy both indi­vid­ual KPIs, such as indi­vid­ual duty time, that can simul­ta­ne­ous­ly con­tribute to the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of broad­er, tar­get­ed, KPIs such as opti­mi­sa­tion of block time.

Nik will deliv­er his pre­sen­ta­tion — called ‘A Ros­ter Sim­u­la­tion solu­tion for Opti­mi­sa­tion Estab­lish­ment and Per­for­mance Analy­sis’ — at the AGIFORS event on 18 June.

ScheduleSim and CrewSim unveiled at Slot Conference

APM at Slot Conference

The IATA Slot Con­fer­ence was as busy as ever and a delight­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to catch up with col­leagues old and new.

Fol­low­ing a peri­od of devel­op­ment, APM demon­strat­ed new mod­ules Sched­uleS­im and CrewSim, in addi­tion to its exist­ing sched­ul­ing, slot sub­mis­sion, flight oper­a­tions, crew man­age­ment and finan­cial mod­el­ling and deci­sion mak­ing tools.

Feed­back from con­fer­ence del­e­gates was pos­i­tive and we look for­ward to dis­cussing Sched­uleS­im and CrewSim fur­ther with those that expressed an interest.
