Online event
Due to the currently ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the AGIFORS Council has made the choice to do all study group meetings in an online format, just as was the case for the Airline Operations SG meeting & Annual Symposium in 2020 and again in 2021.
This year the Airline Operations Study Group meeting will start on Wednesday, 11 May 2022 and end on Friday, 13 May 2022. All sessions will start at 13:00 UTC and run through to 20:00 UTC. These times would hopefully make it possible to attend the session within a reasonable time for many locations around the globe.
RegistrationAs this event is not like any of our usual events, and we realize that in these times it is nearly impossible to commit to anything costly, we have decided to greatly reduce the registration fees for this year. We do this because we feel that now more than ever we need a platform like AGIFORS to work together in combatting the effects of this pandemic. Registration fees are:

Our keynote speaker this year is Dr. Laurie Garrow, the President of AGIFORS. Dr. Garrow is a Professor and Co-Director of the Center for Urban and Regional Air Mobility (CURAM) at the Georgia Insitute of Technology, in Atlanta, Georgia. She is an expert in aviation, travel behavior, data analytics, and discrete choice modeling. Her work on urban air mobility and aviation has been featured by NPR, USA Today, the LA Times, Avionics International, and other media outlets. Dr. Garrow earned her Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Northwestern University, with an emphasis on travel demand modeling and airline passenger behavior. Her dissertation won first prize in the 2004 Aviation Applications Section of INFORMS and honorable mention in the 2004 Eric Pas dissertation competition sponsored by IATBR. She is a 2013 recipient of the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize and the 2009 recipient of the Council of University Transportation Centers-American Road & Transportation Builders Association (CUTC-ARTBA) New Faculty Member Award. Her teaching contributions have been recognized via the institute-level award given by the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, namely the CETL-BP Junior Faculty Teaching Excellence Award. She is also the recipient of a CAREER award. She has previously served as Vice President of Sections and Societies of INFORMS, President of the Transportation Science and Logistics Society of INFORMS, and Chair of the Aviation Applications Section of INFORMS. Dr. Garrow has five years of industry experience, including four years as an analyst in the Research and Development Revenue Management Group of United Airlines and one year as an analyst in the Customer Science Unit of Mercer Management Consulting. Dr. Garrow will be speaking about Generational Change in the Airline Industry -- How It Changes Operational & Technological Needs THIS YEAR'S THEMEAs airlines start restoring operations back to normal, one of the biggest challenges for the airline industry is how to balance efficiency and resiliency. In addition, we need to know how to measure operational performance day to day as well as during disruptive events in a way that considers contextual factors such as weather, schedule, maintenance and crew health. The following areas of interest are merely guidelines for showcasing your creative work. Relevant topics outside of them will also be given consideration:
Once again, we will have a special AGIFORS Maintenance Operations session in conjunction with Airline Operations this year. During the vendor presentations, you will received updates on recent developments and insights into product roadmaps. Technical & Vendor PresentationsPlease note that due to the very special nature of this years event and the highly reduced registration fee for vendors, vendor presentations must be pre-recorded and limited to 10 minutes, except for vendor sponsors. All non-sponsor vendor presentations will be shown together on Friday, May 16. ** All presentations will be shown as pre-recorded video, with live Q&A. Presentation deadlines are as follows:
In addition to the technical presentations, we also request updates on individual airlines from all areas of the world. Please let us know if you are interested in presenting an airline update. We will also (as usual) have vendor presentations to update you on recent developments and insights into product roadmaps. We are also happy to be able to host a live panel as we did the last two years. The topic is still to be determined. For questions regarding the technical presentations, and for submitting abstracts for presentations, please contact:
| SponsorsThe policy of AGIFORS for all their meetings are to have the registration fee for Airline staff and Academics as low as possible. The philosophy behind this is that academics are likely to enter new lines of thought into our field, and having a strong presence by airlines brings great value to both the vendors and the airlines. It would therefore be great if your organization could this year be one of our sponsors. Sponsors will get a 20 minute sponsor presentation within the main program (first come, first served) and their logo will be posted on this website and on all communications. Gold (USD $1,000)
