Abstract

The flight delayinduces extra cost to airlines and passengers.In the process of flight delay, the cost to maintain the engine power supply is the primary part of delay loss. This paper takes different power supply modes in to account to improve the previous flight delay cost model. As well this paper gets an in-depth analysis of total ground flight delay cost trend over time using electrical power or APU(auxiliary power units) for power supply. Takingthe most popular aircraft B737, A320, A340 and B747-200 as examples, the paper conducts computer simulation for delay cost and loss ratio by using this model.The results indicate that the model can make a quantitative analysis of flight delay cost and reflect the economic advantage of the electrical power for long period delay. Therefore, it can provide reliable tools for airlines tooptimize the operating costs.
