Impeding their implementation are two major sources of disruption 1. Airline resource shortages caused by aircraft mechanical problems crew unavailability due to illness or upstream missed connections or delays aircraft delays caused by lack of gates or other ground resources and longer than expected passenger boarding and disembarking times. 2. Airport and airspace capacity shortages caused by factors such as airport security delays and inclement weather conditions that reduce throughput at airports. These disruptions often result in irregular operations in which the needed resources such as crews aircraft gates and landing slots become unavailable and the planned schedule becomes inoperable. To respond to these disruptions as they occur airlines operate control centers at which controllers who are provided with up-to-the-minute information about the network-wide status of the airline s operations make decisions regarding how to reassign resources and adjust the flight schedule in a manner that best repairs the disrupted schedules and allows the airline to resume planned operations. This chapter focuses on the schedule recovery process involving the replanning and recovering of aircraft crews and passengers from irregular operations. In the initial sections of this chapter delays and economic impacts associated with irregular operations are described and details are provided of schedule recovery approaches that can be executed during operations to make effective resource reassignment decisions when irregular operations arise. In the latter part of the chapter another approach to irregular The Global Airline Industry Edited By Peter Belobaba Amedeo Odoni and Cynthia Barnhart 2009 John Wiley Sons Ltd. ISBN .
