Airlines' Optimization Decision of Slot Allocation in CDM

With the rapid development of civil aviation in China, increasingly serious irregular flights problem arise wide attention. Though the air transport systems are composed of air transport control, airlines and airports, solving the irregular flight problem is still depend upon air transport control at present. The paper presents the method of airlines free-assignment between flight and slot with collaborative decision-making mechanism. A flight-slot assignment model is developed and an indexing heuristic arithmetic is designed. An empirical example proves that this method can reduce the total delay time and improve regular flight ratio. It also shows the importance of slot allocation decisions when the airlines is involved.
