Overbooking policy for airline is one of the main channels that enhance revenue and improve profit; it should be carefully implemented to avoid any negative effects of denied boarding impact especially on the brand name for the airline. It should be address the best strategy that minimize cost between no-show cost and denied boarding cost, by implement cost based overbooking model ( U curve technique )

The primary reason for rationalizing stock keeping units (SKUs) in any business is the complications that arises from a burgeoning product portfolio. The quest for a long-lasting profit margin can induce a company to increase the number of products it offers, which results in a suboptimal product portfolio. This situation calls for a complete restructuring of the existing product line, which allows companies to identify irrelevant commodities. An increase in the complexity of the supply chain increases the overall cost per unit delivered.

This is a network analysis addressing yemenia network, considering SANAA as the main hub of the airline, it use U curve, and developing optimum operating curve for yemenia - yemen airways
The term overbooking is usually related with the reservation system of an airline, which means booking a number of passengers
than the offering capacity of the aircraft, to minimize the effect of no-show passengers percentage, as this no-show is in the last
minute before takeoff of the flight means losing a secure revenue to be earned and losing seats that can be utilized or resold for
that same flight, so the process is a balancing between the two terms overbooking and no-show, the income of the first compensate
the lose caused by the second.
Airport Forecasting, is a collection articles which published in CAMA magazine, most of the airports of the world are forecasted, by using a new concept, and approach i.e Max/Min signal tracking approach, while the accuracy of the model is addressing by mapping to main elements – Displacement and Rotational in the accuracy matrix.

2011 07 - atrs - frequency attractivenessDanielSALLIER
An airline number of daily flights on a route, peak hours at airports, waves at hub airports, maximum daily flights to be offered to the customers on a route, number of aircraft different types in a airline fleet, … this is a set of air transport issues which are strongly related to each others and which are the direct or indirect consequence of the daily distribution of (business) demand on city pairs and how an airline tries to capture most of it.
Statistical analysis and modelling cannot provide efficient enough tools for assessing the actual weight of the sole scheduling/frequency factor on the passenger choice as, for instance, the fares and the frequent flyer programmes do play a significant role. This is why we favour a behavioural modelling which would be based on the combined attractiveness of the local departure and arrival times of a flight together with the bell shaped curve of the flight attractiveness over the day since the further the actual departure time from the desired one the lower the number of people willing to take it.
We expect this approach to answer the following questions:
1/ what is the maximum number of daily flights beyond which it does not pay off adding a new one?
2/ when these flights should be operated over the day?
3/ how the flight programme of 2 and more contenders affects their related market shares?
4/ how this approach compares/complements with the S-curve theory of de Neufville?

(Chelsey)Das Bett, Katharina Grosse, 2004, Acrylic on various objects
Das Bett screams 90’s for me, it is unusual because it brings back a sense of abandonment and almost chaos. It adopts this sense of being left behind, the nostalgia of the book stacks and CD player covered in this acrylic “dust” so to speak but the acrylic is colored as to bring some life back into the era. I feel the artist really wanted to express the feeling of leaving the past behind and the feelings that come with it because of her use of darker colors layered over one another in no apparent pattern as though the piece was a messy release of feelings. I would say her methods of execution were found and addition because she uses objects that already exist in the environment and then builds on them, like stacking books and materials, then spray painting them. It makes me feel nostalgic and slightly sad because we will never get the past memories of our life back to relive so we recreate a moment for the feeling.

Controls in Airline Strategic Planning and Management
Student

Date
Strategic planning and management are both important for every organization's process of achieving its long-term goals. Voyage airline utilizes strategic planning to form its direction, that is, its priorities, vision, and mission through strategic management, which is the overall direction achievement process from planning to execution. To promote growth and increase the airline's revenue, the organization uses the stay woke air strategy controls. These controls include reducing operating costs, pricing strategy, efficiency in airline operation, and yield or inventory management. Voyage Airlines uses these strategies effectively to continue increasing revenue and staying competitive.
Voyage airline compares every online travel agent to find the cheapest flight tickets on the net. It also offers loyalty programs by awarding its customers every time they fly their points or air miles to spend on their later flights. This way, customers are attracted to maintain their loyalty to this company. The airline also allows customers to get credit cards that allow them free first-class lounge visits. If a customer is flexible on the dates they fly, the airline provides a sky scanner tool to find the day that is cheaper to fly to their destination.
Airline operations in every company must be associated with a cost, and these operations may include aspects such as flight operations, maintenance, and ground resources. These flight operations include flight planning, the process of producing a flight plan for a specific aircraft destination. The process, therefore, involves fuel calculation for the aircraft to reach safe to its destination and involves compliance with the requirements of the air traffic controls to avoid risks associated with mid-air ...
Airfares Global Distribution Strategy for Higher Incremental Revenues in Non-...Simon Riha, MSc, MBA
This paper was written for the 2nd International Aviation Management Conference 2014 organized by the Emirates Aviation University in Dubai, UAE. It elaborates an often ignored commercial potential of non-core and distant countries. It is shown that airlines can seek incremental revenues in off-line markets utilizing their current distribution channels at minimum investment. Yet the airlines often miss these opportunities by not having set their fares accordingly. The study, supported by sound literature review, analyzes these points of issue, proposes an airfare global distribution strategy for higher incremental revenues from non-core and distant countries and provides recommendations for implementing this strategy.
TRIP TIME DIFFERENCE & SHARE OF THE PASSENGER DEMAND ON A CITY PAIRDanielSALLIER
In 2011 we presented a paper on "Daily Demand Distribution and Flight Programme Attractiveness for the Passengers on a City Pair". Despite a far better understanding on how demand and flight frequencies interact on a route, this approach had the major drawback of assuming an equal trip time delivered by all of the operators. This paper is aimed at overcoming this flaw and assessing how trip time differences affect the market share an airline can gain/lose on a route.
Trip time related passenger demand is a topic mostly addressed by value-of-time theories. It is addressed by statistical methods too such as the so-called LEK arithmetic model which provides the market share of a high speed train services competing against an air one. Nevertheless, they cannot provide efficient enough tools for assessing the actual weight of the sole trip time factor on the passenger choice as, for instance, the fares, the frequent flyer programmes, departure/arrival times, flight positioning on the GDS screens do play a significant role too. This is why we keep favouring a behavioural approach which would be derived from the frequency attractiveness method we have already developed.
We expect this approach to answer the following questions:
1/ what is the potential demand a non stop service can gain while passengers are offered multi-stops services only?
2/ how far a shorter transfer time affects the demand attractiveness of a hub?
4/ On long haul operations, does a slightly higher cruise speed provides a real demand advantage?
3/ what is the potential market share a high speed train service can gain over air services?

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

2. Defining An Optimum Overbooking Policy
Three factors lead to the best earning of revenue in
aviation, they are, right flight scheduling, optimum fare
maxing and proper inventory control. While the main
principle of airline revenue management is to sell the
right service to the right customer at the right time for
the right fare, and can be achieved by developing by
optimum overbooking policy that minimize the cost of
two main cost elements. i.e No Show Cost and Denied
Boarding Cost, the problem is solved by implementing
U curve technique which define the right overbooking
policy, so by analysis the historical data of specified
route, defining the existing overbooking policy that
also may reflect a denied boarding cases and the
corresponding no-shows distribution. A good
overbooking strategy will be the one that minimize the expected of denied boarding and
opportunity cost of spoilage, this clearly leading to define Overbooking and No-show curves.
Introduction:
Revenue Management (RM) is the process of understanding, anticipating and influencing
passenger behavior in order to maximize revenue or profits from a fixed, perishable resource as
availability of airline seats. The problem is to sell the available seats to the passengers at the right
time for the right fare. So revenue management is a set of revenue maximization strategies and
tactics meant to improve the profitability of certain businesses.
Airline Revenue Management:
Based on the revenue management theory, the cross
functional of managing revenue is impact three main factors:
1- Flight Scheduling
2- Pricing
3- Inventory Control
The product of an airline offers to a great extent defined by
Scheduling, Pricing and Capacity. Scheduling defines the
routing, the frequency, the departure time, whether it is a
non-stop or a connection. The role of Revenue Management
is to match the demand with the capacities given by
scheduling. This is done by determining the availability of
the capacity aircraft . In order to optimize the availability,
Revenue Management has to know how much money the
Pricing
Flight
Schedule
Inventory
Control
REVENUE
3. company will get when this product is sold.
Yield Management (YM) involves the tactical control
of an airline’s seat inventory for each future flight
departure. YM is the airline’s last chance to maximize
revenue.
Yield Management (YM)
It is a process determines the number of seats to be
made and available for each fare class by setting
booking limits on low fare seat. Usually YM systems
take a set of differential prices/products, schedules and
assigned flight capacities. Figure ( 1 ). Shows Normal Booking Curve.
Yield Management System:
Four Steps describe typical Yield Management System.
Data Collection-
- The Basic collected data of revenue management are: Revenue Data , Historical Booking,
No-Show Data, Actual Booking
Forecasting –
- It is for No-Show Data keeping in mind the capacity constrains
Optimization –
- Cost based Overbooking model
Reservation:
- The reservation procedure is related to the
airline patterned, it is legacy or low cost
carriers, and with the advanced, so feeding by
the outcomes of the optimization models to
define the overbooking level, terms as AU
(Authorized Capacity), CAP (Physical
Capacity), BKD (conformed booking) and NSR
( No-Show Rate), are interfere in overbooking issue.
Overbooking Problem:
The goal of overbooking is to minimize the risk of spilled revenue due to passenger cancellations
and no-shows, to accomplish this, airlines routinely overbook flights to balance the need of
generating additional revenue while minimizing the risk of over sales.
4. Cost-based Overbooking Model:
The objective of Cost-based overbooking model is to find
the optimum overbooking policy that minimize the total
combined cost of denied boarding and spoilage ( no-show )
cost.
Optimum Overbooking Policy =
MIN Cost of DB + Cost of SP ………1
Where
DB : Denied Boarding
SP : Spoilage
A simple overbooking algorithm takes the no-show forecast and overbooking to compensate for
those no-shows.
A more sophisticated overbooking takes the different costs of no-shows and denied boarding into
account as well as the uncertainty of the no-show forecasts. It calculates the expected costs of
spoiled seats and denied boarding for each possible overbooking level and selects that with
minimum expected costs.
Figure shows the two cost elements.
The risk of spoilage, that is empty seats despite high demand is the greater, the smaller the
overbooking limit is. On the other hand the risk of denied boarding increases with increasing
overbooking limits.
The sum of both costs has a minimum and the corresponding booking limit minimizes the
expected total costs.
Case Study :
Based on actual data of Yemenia for sector SAH-DXB, the no-show data for the period Oct.
2010. It is a complex issue to forecast the number of no-
show per flight, as mentioned above, demand can be
forecast, likely wise No-Show passengers can be
forecasted in the same manner, to get No-show
passengers per month, assuming the process is follows
Poisson Sampling, so by considering a historical data of
No-show of one month, and fitted to a Poisson by
minimum least square analysis and chi square test or
Kologorov test based on the number of sampling.
The collection data represented by histogram, Figure no.
5. ( ) these no-show data are related to the environmental / operational pattern, that mean we have
to restricted to capacity of aircraft, time of departure,
route connectivity and other factors.
The data analysis first based on average value of
LAMDA i.e 2.143 then adjusted to reached optimum
value 3.055 to us it in Overbooking Lose Table. The
followings figures shows the collection of LAMDA.
ANALYSIS:
The analysis is based on Cost Based Overbooking Model based on the following inputs:
1- No-show Passenger Cost:
This is an opportunity lose revenue cost due to
the no-show of passenger it is the revenue
almost in hand, as empty flown seat never get
back. So it can be calculated as the fare of
SAH-DXB = 270 USD per no-show
passenger.
2- Denied Boarding Cost:
This is a critical cost, caused by oversells
polices of airlines, and its includes a variety of
elements, some of them are not quantifiable in monetary terms.
o Cash compensation paid to involuntary denied boarding.
o Free travel vouchers as incentive for involuntary denied boarding
o Meals and hotel costs for displaced passengers.
o Space on other airlines to accommodate displaced passengers.
o Cost of lost passengers goodwill.
Based on Yemenia compensation program, it cost =150 USD for SAH-DXB sector.
So by developing Overbooking lose table, Table ( 4 ) probability of no-show is calculated based
on Poisson distribution and accordingly cost.
So – first we have to represent the data by Poisson distribution, and accordingly to utilize the
probability function of Poisson distribution in Overbooking Lose Table.
6. Two cost are evaluated
1- No-Show Cost:
The loss of opportunity may calculate as the following
Fare SAH-DXB = 270 USD
So the expected cost of lose opportunity
0 × 0.47 + 1 × 0.134 + 2 × 0.219 … … . . +7 × 0.024 × 270 = 2.958 × 270
= 798 USD per flight
So No Show Cost = ( No. of No-show -- No. of Overbooking ) * Probability of No Show *
Cost of no show cost per seat.
Provided that No Show is greater than Overbooking
2- Denied Boarding Cost
Airline Estimate the cost incurred per overbooking procedure per reservation is 150 USD
per passenger.
So Denied Boarding Cost = ( No. of Overbooking – No. of Noshow) * Probability of
Noshow* Cost of denied boarding per passenger.
Provided that Overbooking is greater than No show.
3- No Show passengers equal Overbooking reservation:
Net cost result is Zero
That’s lead us to develop an overbooking lose table. This shows clearly the Zero
Diagonal Values across the table.
7. Results:
Based on Yemenia No-show data of Oct. 2010 for sector SAH-DXB, and a initial costs of
no-shows and denied boarding as inputs, two main curves are plotted, no-show cost curve
and denied boarding cost, resulting a U shape curve that define the optimum
overbooking policy i.e Three overbooking reservation. The analysis based on monthly
data and should be repeated on monthly bases taking in consideration the seasonality’s,
shocks and trends keeping in mind the other environmental operation and other constrains
factors are not change.
8. Summary:
The study shows the importance of no-show rates and its sampling / art of fit with
Poisson distribution. The historical data is collected and demonstrated by frequency
distribution, which analysis by minimum least square analysis using cdf data ( cumulative
density function), the data examine by the tentative average value of the sample then
fitted by kolomogorovo test to get the optimum value of LAMDA ( parameter of Poisson
distribution, which is used in the cost-based overbooking model) .
Finally the ratio of Denied Boarding Cost to No-show Cost, play a major rules in shaping
the U curve approach, which give a clear picture for the top management of airlines to
select the right policy, and the real impacts on the performance of airline especially in the
commercial side.
