Research paper: Capacityplanning Schiphol Baggage System

Bachelor's Degree, Aviation Logistics
February 2013 - April 2013

As one of Europe's leading airports Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will have an increasing number of air transport movements in the near future. This will lead to more pressure in the baggage handling system. The management team of AAS Airside Operations, which takes charge over the baggage handling have to find out how their material and capacity planning will be in strategic, tactical and operational way. It has to be optimized to handle more baggage in a quicker, cheaper and in a more efficient way. Bottlenecks have to be reduced, so Schiphol can handle 70 million pieces of baggage a year, so it can handle the future.

Research paper: Implementation of the A380 in the KLM network

Bachelor's Degree, Aviation Logistics
December 2013 - February 2014

Since the worlds largest passenger aircraft calls every day at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the home base of KLM, the question arises: could KLM use the A380 in there fleet and route network?

We thought out a plan to deploy the A380 in a reliable, efficient, pioneering and sustainable way. Just like KLM describes her self in its company profile. The operate the A380 profitable KLM will need a high occupancy, so a destination in a region with a large aviation market and/or a large growth of aviation is necessary. Asia is one of those markets, but also the American market is still a giant in the world of aviation.

Next we've re-invented the hub-and-spoke-system by using a dual-hub strategy, short haul flights will feed our A380 in Amsterdam, next the Airbus will fly to Asia and a SkyTeam partner will take over the passengers en fly them to their destinations.

With 3 Airbus 380's in a 600-seat configuration (translated from the current KLM-fleet), is it possible to execute two flights a day. These two flights will replace up to seven flights with B747's, B777's, and A330's. While more connections, destinations and a higher frequency is offered.
