Abstract

A method, medium, and system to receive a baseline airline schedule including details associated with at least one flight; optimize the baseline airline schedule in accordance with at least one specified optimization objective to generate an optimized airline schedule; evaluate a robustness of the optimized airline schedule based on an execution of a simulation based process to generate a set of quantitative metrics; and generate a record of the set of quantitative metrics.
