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.
Network profitability
Considering an airlines costs and revenue data, NetLine HubDesigner creates the most profitable networks by choosing the best combination of routes and by balancing optimal flight times, with frequencies and capacities per routes.
Scenario capability
NetLine HubDesigner’s scenario modeling capabilities open up a new approach to solve various use cases from strategic planning to seasonal network adjustments. To address various business questions the network planner can calculate scenarios on demand as well as operational restrictions like ground times, block times or airport slots.
Plannning efficiency
Network planning and scheduling teams can concentrate on evaluating multiple solutions instead of selecting the best scenario out of a few semi-manually created alternatives. NetLine HubDesigner protects your business by speeding up time to market while simultaneously improving planning quality.
Key benefits
NetLine HubDesigners unique optimization strategy combines destination selection, fleet assignment and time & frequency optimization. The solution builds profit optimized and operational feasible schedules for hub and network airlines. It generates profitable flight schedules from scratch or adjust existing schedules as needed, enabling airlines to swiftly adapt to volatile market conditions and maximize network profitability.
Network design
NetLine HubDesigner boosts O&D network profitability. The optimizer provides direct traffic offers when needed and captures low demand by offering O&D connections via hubs. It adds new routes to the network to increase number of offered O&Ds and replaces flights with low network contribution by increasing frequencies of profitable routes.
(Multi)-hub optimization
NetLine HubDesigner creates the most efficient bank structure offering optimal flight timings and passenger connection times. It generates schedules based on available slots. In addition, it mitigates intra-hub competition within a multi-hub environment.
Fleet assignment and 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.
Operational feasible schedule
The optimizer accounts for commercial and operational requirements including airport slots, maintenance requirements and aircraft restrictions. Optimization outputs are rotated schedules based on the airlines turn times and block time rules.
Seamless integration
NetLine HubDesigner is reliably embedded in the commercial business processes via integration with NetLine Plan, NetLine Sched or other scheduling systems.
Fast & easy – LSY ‘s global aviation cloud
NetLine HubDesigner is offered as an end-to-end service in the cloud for simple, cost effective and scalable use. Security measures are certified in accordance with multiple industry standards and are regularly reviewed in audits.
What our customers say
„In our practice, NetLine HubDesigner increased our network profitability mainly by increasing valuable connectivity across our network despite heavy slot restrictions. NetLine HubDesigner helps you see the opportunities you overlook or encourages you to implement the changes you thought of before.“
