Extract
Fleet planning is a complex process. Undertaking it is time consuming as, properly conducted, it involves virtually every part of the airline organisation in a series of sub-analyses all of which impact on each other in some way. Parts of the process are deeply technical but others may be purely subjective relying on the intuition or judgement of the airline’s one expert in the particular field.
Obviously in fleet planning we have to investigate suitable types of aircraft. Most of the factors involved are fairly well known. Their ability, or otherwise, to operate our routes economically and without significant restriction is vitally important as is our ability to maintain them in service. We need to understand our markets and the factors which influence passengers to travel in the first place, and with us rather than our competitors in the second.
