Abstract

In this paper, we focus on the need for reducing boarding time for airlines. Therefore existing researches devoted to designing boarding routines and studying boarding strategies in existence. A model based on cellular automata is developed for calculating the integrated boarding time and testifies that the Reverse-Pyramid way is one of the most effective strategies. Aiming at giving an optimal boarding strategy, this paper combines a new evaluating criterion with some further analysis of Reverse-Pyramid and finally concludes that Reverse-Pyramid strategy which is divided into 5 groups and has more groups with a particular proportion is the best. Somehow the present paper solves the neglect of passengers’ satisfaction and time spent on organizing before boarding in existing researches and gives some recommendations to airlines at last.
