The problem of airline flight network optimization can be split into subproblems such as Schedule Generation (SG) and Fleet Assignment (FA), solved in consecutive steps or in an integrated way, usually based on monetary costs and revenue forecasts. A linear programming model to solve SG and FA in an integrated way is presented, but with an alternative approach based on transport momentum and aircraft load factor. This alternative approach relies on demand forecast and allows obtaining solutions considering minimum average load factors. Results of the proposed model applications to instances of a regional Brazilian airline are presented. The comparison of the schedules generated by the proposed approach against those obtained by applying a model based on monetary costs and revenue forecasts demonstrates the validity of this alternative approach for airlines network planning.
