There is disclosed an aircraft operation scheduling system, wherein:(a) the aircraft operation scheduling system includes a computing arrangement that computes a measure of contaminant exposure for estimating aircraft contamination, wherein the computing arrangement, when in operation, accesses a database of contamination data over location and time;(b) the computing arrangement receives when in operation schedule information related to a plurality of aircraft flights;(c) the computing arrangement receives aircraft data relating to an aircraft fleet being scheduled, and interrogates a database of contamination data to derive:(i) an estimated historical contamination for the aircraft or each aircraft engine of the aircraft to at least one contaminant; and(ii) an estimated expected contaminant exposure for the aircraft or each aircraft engine; and(d) the computing arrangement, when in operation:(i) identifies at least one aircraft engine with a higher estimated historical contaminant exposure or with a lower estimated historical contaminant exposure;(ii) identifies at least one route with a lower expected exposure or a higher expected exposure to the at least one contaminant; and(iii) provides recommendations on route allocation by assigning an aircraft with the higher estimated historical contaminant exposure being scheduled to at least one route with lower expected exposure to the at least one contaminant.
