Airlines struggle to assign aircraft to routes without knowing the actual demand for seats, leading to financial losses from empty or overbooked flights. Lufthansa Systems' NetLine FleetAssigner offers a solution, boosting profitability by up to 600,000 euros per month through efficient planning based on passenger forecasts and cost estimates.

NetLine FleetAssigner optimizes aircraft-to-flight assignments to boost profitability and rapidly evaluates multiple scenarios using high‑speed algorithms.

NetLine/FleetAssigner automates fleet assignment and integrated maintenance planning while ensuring operational feasibility and adherence to user‑defined rules. It reflects the airline’s cost structure through a flexible cost model.

NetLine FleetAssigner integrates seamlessly with NetLine Plan and NetLine Sched, enabling direct use of all shared data, rules, and schedules without duplicate maintenance. It also supports smooth implementation of optimization results in both core systems.
NetLine FleetAssigner boosts profitability through optimal aircraft assignment and offers flexible rules, integration, and reporting for more efficient fleet planning.

NetLine FleetAssigner models operational and commercial restrictions with flexible user‑defined rules for counts, fleets, load factors and more. Its customizable cost model supports tailored cost types and calculation algorithms.

NetLine FleetAssigner delivers before/after reports on key metrics like profit, costs, capacity, and utilization, using NetLine Sched’s Tactical Profitability Evaluation Model (TPEM) and NetLine Plan for scenario analysis.

Since strategic-oriented network and tactical schedule management have different goals and time horizons, NetLine FleetAssigner provides task-specific features such as schedule periods and demand data sources.

NetLine FleetAssigner uses an advanced optimization algorithm to balance short run times with profitability by minimizing costs, maximizing revenues, or optimizing both to maximize profit.

„We‘ve been using NetLine FleetAssigner for three and a half years now to optimize our schedule on a monthly basis before handing it over to the crew department. It increases out profitability quite well and we are very happy with that.“
