| Abstract: | The Operations Decision Support Suite, developed by Lufthansa and Google, jointly optimizes aircraft, crew, and passenger itineraries to ensure that disruptions such as flight delays are mitigated smoothly. The service is in daily use by Lufthansa subsidiary Swiss International Airlines, with EUR 12 million and 14 kilotons of CO2 already saved. It is currently being deployed to all airlines in the Lufthansa Group and is on track to save EUR 30 million and 50 kilotons of CO2 annually. In 2019, Lufthansa and Google began a five-year collaboration to apply operations research techniques to operational airline schedule recovery, jointly optimizing over aircraft, passengers, and crew to ensure that disruptions such as flight delays are mitigated smoothly. The resulting Operations Decision Support Suite (OPSD) implements several novel decomposition techniques and heuristics. The service is in daily use by Lufthansa subsidiary Swiss International Airlines, with EUR 12 million and 14 kilotons of CO2 already saved. It is currently being deployed to all airlines in the Lufthansa Group and is on track to save EUR 30 million and 50 kilotons of CO2 annually. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
