摘要:As mentioned in the Introduction, 1st European Scientific Conference on Air Transport: Research Horizon is apart of the joint event encompassing also 14th EWGT Meeting and 26th Mini-EURO Conference. One of the reasonsfor launching a new conference on air transport was an existing gap between large world conferences and relativelysmall national conferences. Research Horizon attempts to fill this gap as an European level conference with thescope covering various air transportation topics, such as: air fleet management, airport capacity and operationsplanning, air freight transportation and logistics, crew management or business process management in air transport.This chapter includes ten articles which fall into the scope of the conference. The papers were prepared by22 authors representing 7 countries. The papers cover mostly two streams related to air transport, i.e. Optimizationin Air Transport (RH1) and Air Transport Planning and Control (RH2).
