Crew as a cost centre typically accounts for up to 15% of an airline's total cost base which demands that this operationally critical resource is optimally managed. However, the hardest item of cost to get a handle on is crewing, given the highly variable nature of costs associated with crew related events.

Flight Schedule Cost Analysis

The Real Killers

  • Not knowing the true variable cost of crewing and operating any given schedule until it's too late
  • No effective way to measure 'Budget' versus 'Planned' versus 'Operated' crew schedule
  • No tool to project cost and efficiency of alternate scenarios at planning and budgetary stage
  • Not being able to readily identify where waste is occurring

Knowledge is Power

Possessing the analysis facilitated by the Crewing Analyser tool provides the means to ultimately assess the optimal efficiency of :

  • The initial Bid · what crew actually bid against
  • What pairings break and why
  • How well the crewing of unscheduled disruptions are managed
  • What can be learned and applied in this continuous improvement loop
