Here are the top 3 mistakes and how we can help overcome them with the OPTIRISETM magic wand:
Too many planners start with a fixed weekly schedule that assumes every flight goes as planned: stable winds and flight times, no weather disruptions, predictable clients, available planes, and pilots.
Then Tuesday hits: bad thunderstorms, crew members calling in sick, and your afternoon aircraft rotation falls apart.
OPTIRISETM magic wand: Plan for uncertainty. Your system needs to handle changes without triggering a domino effect. That means buffers where they make sense, running ‘what-if’ scenarios, and having the ability to rebuild your fleet and crew plans with every change.
Too many planners work on their tasks as and when they have time: feasibility checks, flight planning, permit requests, FBO bookings, catering orders…
As a consequence, things feel hectic and rushed.
A permit may be requested… too early. And the request has to be renewed with every tail change.
A flight might fail its feasibility checks… too late. So a new solution must be found on the spot.
In that context, there is no ideal time to optimize the schedule for savings.
OPTIRISETM magic wand: every operator should design their ideal workflow, and ensure every coworker knows what to do, and in what order. They can then run the optimizer at the ideal time to reap maximum benefits! OPTIRISETM should be run late enough so all the flights are confirmed, but early enough so any tail changes can be accommodated easily.
Some operators swing too far in one direction. Some may over-prioritize crew comfort and underutilize the fleet. Others will max out flight hours and burn out their teams.
Some may want to preserve the original client request at all costs, and they may forgo some optimization opportunities (closer aircraft, shorter turnarounds). Others may prioritize fleet efficiency, and alter the client’s experience.
OPTIRISETM magic wand: Balance is the answer. Your logic should be to optimize towards multiple goals: fleet efficiency, client satisfaction, and crew well-being!
If planning feels like a constant fire drill, that’s not a people problem; it’s a process and system issue.
