Extract

The previous paper in this series described what operational research is and illustrated some of its methods. The succeeding articles are concerned with considering some of the problems in the different branches of the aviation industry and showing how OR may be profitably applied to them.

This paper and the next form a continuous narrative. They differ in that the first concentrates on capital investment programmes and the procurement of aircraft, while the programmes and the procurement of running an airline. In the first, a discussion of cost structure leads on to some detailed models. A further series of models forms the basis of the second.
