Introduction
You have recently started a new airline company in Europe. The hub of your airline is in a major European city. Apart from your main hub, there are 19 other European destinations available to operate flights to. The goal of this assignment is 1) to develop a network and fleet plan and 2) to solve a crew pairing problem for your airline. Both problems and their results are independent. The appendices attached to this assignment contain all the data required to determine the revenue, cost, etc. for the development of the network and fleet plan and crew pairings. In particular, the Excel-file Assignment1_Problem1_Datasheets.xlsx contains data on the location of your hub, the available airports, the demand for each OriginDestination pair, and population and GDP data for the different cities and countries, respectively. For the crew pairing problem, each group is given three unique datasheets containing a 1) flight schedule, 2) duty periods and 3) crew hotel costs.
