Our study reviews flight scheduling, aircraft-path assignment and gate assignment. Fig. 1 shows these activities. We adopted the study of Barnhart and Cohn (2004) for these activities. The first stage includes gate assignment and flight scheduling, because they have close interaction with each other. Gate assignment defines a gate for each flight. The gates are not available at any given time. Flight scheduling determines the departure and arrival times for flights. The second stage is aircraft assignment
