Runway Scheduling under Consideration of Winter Operations

We address the problem of scheduling incoming and departing aircraft on multiple runways under consideration of snow removal and runway de-icing during winter operations. Since this problem has not been addressed so far in the literature, we are presenting a mixed-inter program (MIP) with the objective of minimizing the weighted earliness and lateness of scheduled starting and landing times. We report about solving small to medium real-world instances from Franz Josef Strauß airport in Munich. Since larger instances cannot be solved to optimality, we will also be discussing heuristic approaches.     «
