Japan, a country with approximately 127 million inhabitants is a net exporter of tourists despite the high economic development of the country and state of the art transportation means and infrastructure. The paper looks at the domestic tourism as well as the behavioral aspects of the Japanese...

Models incorporating more realistic models of customer behavior, as customers choosing from an offer set, have recently become popular in assortment optimization and revenue management. The dynamic program for these models is intractable and approximated by a deterministic linear program called...

Network Revenue Management can be formulated as a stochastic dynamic programming problem ("optimal" solution) whose exact solution is computationally intractable. Consequently, a number of heuristics have been proposed in the literature, the most popular of which are the deterministic linear...

This paper will argue that it is imperative regulations on UAVs address cybersecurity and privacy issues in order to remain on the forefront of technology within the aviation industry. Although it may seem like it is more important to establish basic laws on UAS, legislators need to work...

This paper addresses the problem of re-establishing an international airport in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq, five years after liberation from the domination of the terrorist regime, ISIS. It aims to "assess the economic, technical and financial feasibility of establishing Al-Sahaji International...

Over the years, the evolution of the air transport sector has determined important changes in the tourism industry. One of the consequences of the liberalization of air transport has been the development of the "hub-and-spoke" system, used by traditional airlines in order to be more efficient in...

I describe the customer valuations game, a simple intuitive game that can serve as a foundation for teaching revenue management. The game requires little or no preparation, props or software, takes around two hours (and hence can be finished in one session), and illustrates the formation of...

Many dynamic revenue management models divide the sale period into a finite number of periods T and assume, invoking a fine-enough grid of time, that each period sees at most one booking request. These Poisson-type assumptions restrict the variability of the demand in the model, but researchers...

The aim of this article is to study the propensity to change modes, departure times and routes under adverse weather conditions. By means of an ordered probit methodology we identify the main factors explaining such a flexibility.
