md82 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hey guys ! I have a current Allegiant Air timetable and I'm having trouble scheduling 46 tail numbers amongst 244 routes. It feels like I don't have enough planes to route every plane to and from each hub. I need help looping tail numbers because all the flights are at different times of day and different days of the week and I always run out of planes before I can complete the schedule. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! thanks trev m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I write EVERYTHING down regarding aircraft and routes before I put everything into phpvms and it goes very smooth for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md82 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm asking for some tips on how to schedule my fleet with the routes. The timetable xls gives me for example: departure icao, arrival icao, flight number, dep time, arr time, type of aircraft, and frequency flown. I have 46 allegiant md-80 tail numbers in my fleet, allegiant flys 244 routes a week to 71 destinations, and has 10 hubs or focus cities. I need some strategy on how to schedule my planes to fly to multiple legs before making their way back to their origin, because I don't have enough planes to fly the outbound and return leg for every airport. hopefully that made more sense, this is one of the only things holding us back right now. thanks ! trev m.

Administrators Nabeel Posted June 12, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 They don't have the aircraft listed there? Just match that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Where's the best place to find the real airliners' tail numbers that they use? I just kinda make them up as I went (N001DL for Delta or N001WN for Southwest...and so on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 here is my source. http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Country/United-States?p=1 Very nice. Absolutely kick butt material there bud. I've gone to Wikipedia and the FAA and couldn't find Jack. This is a great find and thank you so much for your source. Happy flying.

Strider Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I know you have figured it out, but you have to remember an aircraft can do a certain amount of flights a day depending on the length of the route it is on, then you can just use the same aircraft for a few different routes then.

Cheers Dan C Very true. Also, most turn-arounds are about 20-45 minutes, depending on the aircraft. Usually if you go to any real airlines' website and click Book Flight, you can search the flights and if they have multiple destinations, it will show you the arrival time, and also the departure for the next leg.
