What Is It?
Attila is
analogous to the just-in-time manufacturing process for the airline
industry. Attila works
to move more passengers where they want to be, when they want to be
there. It does this by tactically controlling the airlines assets
to have all of the right parts (aircraft, gates, mechanics, etc.)
at just the right place, at just the right time. The concept of
operations is built on three basic ingredients:
- Dynamic monitoring of all of the airline's assets (i.e.
aircraft progress gate-to-gate)
- Constantly comparing the existing situation to asset
availability (such as gates) and airline goals
- Make small/timely corrections to each aircraft's speed as
necessary to drive the overall situation to a more optimal
solution
Attila was
developed for use by Airlines, particularly Hub Airlines and Spoke
Airlines and by Civil Aviation Authorities. It may also be used by
those working in the aviation industry for whom predictability of
aircraft arrival times is beneficial, such as Customs or Security.
