Have aircraft rotations and crew assignments planned
Airlines plan flight schedules and crew assignments
Fits: HR · Logistics & warehousing
Flights are linked into rotations and duties so that fewer crews, hotel nights and positioning flights are needed, while all duty and rest times still fit. When there is disruption, a workable replacement plan is ready faster.
Is this for you?
- You plan rotations and crew duties for several aircraft and stations.
- Planning takes a lot of manual work, and disruptions regularly upset the plan.
- Duty and rest time rules, collective agreements and qualifications are held in a system or can be described clearly.
Take six to eight flights from one day with origin, destination and times, plus your minimum connection time and a simplified maximum duty time. Use the template below to have rotations built, and check every duty yourself. You will see how the calculation works, not what the real plan looks like.
How to go about it
- Define the planning goal and the rules
- Record the flight schedule, fleet and crew numbers
- Have rotations and duties optimised
- Check the plan against the rules and practice
- Publish the roster and manage disruptions
- Evaluate plan deviations and workload
