Scalable Crew Management Paper at AGIFORS

Melbourne August 7^th 2008. CTI will present a paper at the AGIFORS Crew Management Study Group Conference 2008.

Jim Kenneally, Senior Consultant with CTI, will present a paper entitled Scalable Crew Management System Support Rapid Expansion of Low Cost Carriers (30 minutes).

Abstract

Many Low Cost Carriers are facing the challenge of rapid expansion and increasing complexity of their operations. For example international services and overseas crew bases are added to existing domestic operations. These challenges are immense for those people within the airline entrusted with making all facets of the change happen. In the case of crew management, existing systems - installed when the operation was small and simple - are often unscalable and unable to support complex operations.

Airlines confronted with this rapid expansion often have two competing objectives with regard to crew management. They want a system that can cope with future complexity and expansion, without the capital cost and timescale traditionally associated with large airline crew management systems.

This paper examines the key issues and presents a case study based on a recent project success at Jet Airways.

The Crew Management Study Group Conference 2008 will be held in Paris on August 19^th. For further information on AGIFORS please see www.agifors.org
