Addressing real challenges today; supporting growth tomorrow
In today's global aviation industry, airlines are buffeted by rising fuel prices, changing employment regulations and rapid shifts in consumer preferences in the wake of escalating and spreading threats of terrorism.
Traditional airline business models have fundamental problems with operating costs and productivity, making them ill equipped to support sustained profitability in rapidly changing environments. Bankruptcy, liquidation and consolidation of major network carriers are all painfully commonplace. And, recently a number of American airliners indicated that they suffered from delays because of their "inability" to consistently position aircraft and crews as needed to execute the flight schedule on time.
"The new Quintiq Aviation Planning & Optimization Solution combines our expertise in planning and scheduling with a thorough understanding of aviation needs developed through our work with the industry over the past several years," said Martijn van Gils, Marketing Director at Quintiq. "This solution is an excellent example of the value of the unique Quintiq approach, which provides a foundation for further growth by enhancing the flexibility in planning the resources as an aviation service supplier."
