Models Responding to Large-area Flight Delays in Aviation Production Engineering

Large-area flight delays have a serious impact on aviation safety and bring huge losses to airlines. Flight reschedulling is a classic aviation production engineering. Based on flight priority levels, models are built responding to large-area flight delays in this paper. The models adopt different rescheduling rules to flights in different status. Meanwhile they take the restraint of connection of flights and surplus flight time of IA flights (flights in the air) into account, which makes the model accord with practical situation. A case study is given which demonstrate the Effectiveness of the models. The models provide significant theoretical basis to airline flight rescheduling.
