NetLine HubDesigner

The solution for (O&D) network airlines with one or more hubs

Boost network profitability and accelerate time to market

NetLine HubDesigner builds profit optimized (multi-)hub networks considering market demand and competition schedules. It selects the right routes to be served and builds up the network optimizing direct and connecting traffic. The optimizer considers operational constraints, like airport slots & aircraft restrictions, and builds operational feasible and rotated schedules.

Plannning efficiency

Network planning and scheduling teams can concentrate on evaluating multiple schedule scenarios and consider operational constraints from the outset. NetLine HubDesigner protects your business by speeding up time to market while simultaneously improving planning quality.

Key benefits

NetLine HubDesigner builds profitable, operationally feasible schedules and helps airlines adapt fast to changing market conditions.

Fleet assignment & time optimization

In contrast to sequential optimization of flight times and fleet assignment, higher network profitability is obtained by optimizing flight times and aircraft capacity simultaneously.

What our customers say

„HubDesigner is a strong tool to optimize hub efficiency. We are already using it and we’re seeing the results. We will continue using it to redesign our wave structures in our several hubs. We will also us it to increase that connection quality and connectivity in our hubs.“

Mert Köksal, Senior Network Planner at Pegasus Airlines

“[With Hub Designer] we are much quicker and have much more transparency in taking decisions on complex topics. So we can really optimize the whole hub or multiple routes at the same time with multiple constraints in one optimization.”

Enea Borra, Project Manager Network Solutions at Lufthansa Group
