The airline will incur a cost for any passenger denied seating on
the flight. This cost covers added expenses of rescheduling the
passenger as well as loss of goodwill, estimated to be $150 per
Economy passenger and $300 per First Class passenger. On the
other hand, if there are First Class seats available, they move up
Economy passengers to First Class. When this happens, they
28. believe there is a positive goodwill “cost” of $200. Build a
simulation model in an Excel file that will model the
performance of the overbooking system. Model 500 flights.
And answer the following questions.
a. What is the mean profit per flight if overbooking is
implemented?
b. What percentage of customers will experience an
overbooking problem?
c. Does your model recommend the overbooking strategy? Any
suggestions?
