Operating an airline is an extremely complex undertaking. In order to successfully dispatch hundreds of aircraft, schedule thousands of air crew, operate up to one hundred thousand flights per month, and transport tens of millions of passengers per year, detailed planning and near-flawless execution are critical. On the day of operations, plans and schedules for many different resource areas need to come together for the airline to provide reliable service to its customers. No two such days are alike. Airlines not only vary their daily schedules to adapt to changes in demand, they also face uncontrollable external events, such as bad weather, that require them to modify the planned execution to restore the schedule. There are many examples of how well—or how poorly—airlines have dealt with such disruptions.
