In this model, the objective function is to maximize the total profit of fleet assignment, subject to the constraints of coverage, aircraft flow balance, fleet size, aircraft availability, aircraft usage, flight restriction, aircraft seat capacity, and stopover. Then the branch-and-bound algorithm based on special ordered set was applied to solve the model. At last, a real- wofld case study on an airline with 5 fleets, 48 aircrafts and 1 786 flight legs indicated that the profit increase was ￥ 1 591276 one week and the running time was no more than 4 rain, which shows that the model and algorithm are fairly good for domestic airline.展开更多
