The cost estimation was separated from establishing aircraft rotation within an airline network. An effective procedure for routing aircraft is given, based on well known methods of operations research. The economics of aircraft operation is determined by applying Lufthansa and Lockheed methods. An equivalent interaction of both aspects of aircraft operation causes improved efficiency of air transportation. A proposed solution is applied to a regional airline system model, yielding quantitative results. (Author)
