AGIFORS, Airline OperationsWashingtonMay 2004

A Year of Changes

• Implemented Avient’s MCS / CORE

• New Crew Rostering System – AdOpt

• Avient’s Crew Tracking System

• Integrating Systems

• Introduced ULH operations (DXB-SYD)

• 8 unbudgeted A340-300s

Mission Management

• There is no such thing as an optimal operation or

recovery

• There is suitability, prioritisation and minimising the

impact of disruption – decision support

• What keeps or affects aircraft moving?

• A complete mission to manage

• What happens on the ground?

• Pre-empt delays, enable a recovery plan before a

delay is a reality

Our Future – Managing Growth• How do we turn the Emirates vision and plan into

reality and minimise unit cost?

• Challenge the current norms

• Difficult when making record profits

• “Why change something that is proving to work?”

• Been manageable to date, but we are currently

mostly reactive

• Introduce OR, gain acceptance and aim for a more

proactive culture

Our Future – Managing Growth

• Airport capacity constraints:

• Parallel Runways, too close

• Not CAT3

• Construction site

• Increasing number of remote stands

• Fast approaching problem – A380s
