Zusammenfassung / Abstract

An airline has to decide whether to accept an incoming customer request for a seat in an airplane or to reject it in hope that another customer will request the seat later at a higher price. Within strategic alliances of airline partners this decision problem grows more complex. The presented work develops an option-based capacity control method, which dynamically decides on the acceptance or the rejection of customer requests to maximize the combined revenue of the alliance partners.
