Expected benefits are:

• Reduced costs as more efficient use of home crews is used (crews go home over their shift, rather than stay in an overseas hotel)
• More dynamic rescheduling based on staff requests (preferences, holidays, sick leave etc.)
• Consider from various aspects like different routes, time table and flight schedule
• Consider selection of airplanes based on fuel efficiency
• Effective refuelling of airplanes at a cost effective airport
• Better staff morale and staff retention rates based on a more dynamic, responsive and fairer rostering system.
• Adherence to all internal and externally imposed staff rostering rules.
• effective ticket cost decisioning for Passengers(i.e.: person traveling from A - B should have less cost than the person travelling from A - B - C) for economy, first class and business class passengers
