Blue One Aircraft and Crew Management and Operations Control

Airline crew planning is a delicate process with a huge impact on the airline’s operating costs and a major effect on the well being of the flight crews. Crew planning is also a balance between government rules, airline interests and crew happiness. The ORTEC Blue One aircraft and flight crew planning system supports airlines with an integrated approach to all phases of the flight planning process:

• Construction of aircraft rotations; 
• Construction of crew pairings; 
• Crew training management;
• Crew assignment; 
• Crew tracking; 
• Aircraft tracking and Operations Control;
• Crew communications.

ORTEC DCM Dynamic Capacity Management

The Dynamic Capacity Management system (ORTEC DCM) optimizes airline profits by optimal assignment of aircraft to flight legs based on the demand and revenue forecast. The system generates optimal aircraft rotations based on the best match between demand and the aircraft capacity.

ORTEC DCM is a suite containing two systems:

• DCM-Planning (DCM-P) for decision making on the longer term fleet composition and initial rotations per season, and
• DCM-Operations (DCM-O) for the daily optimization of the rotations based on the latest known demand and revenue forecast. (prototype)
