Resource allocation improvement in the tasks of airport ground handling operations

Abstract

It is a global trend for the airport ground handling market to become liberalised. Fiercer competition lead to the necessity to improve efficiency and minimise costs. A mathematical model of optimal resource allocation by aircraft ground handling company using duality theory has been suggested. The numerical results for the solution of the task under the question which were obtained with the relevant software package, proved validity of the specified theoretical preconditions and allowed to improve the work schedule of the experimental aircraft ground handling company in accordance with a specified efficiency criterion.
