    The decarbonization of short-haul air transport has gained increasing attention, with electric aircraft emerging as a promising alternative to conventional short-haul aviation. However, given the substantial investment anticipated for the necessary infrastructure, a strategic and globally coordinated selection of airports is imperative. The aim of this paper is to address this problem and determine the … Read more

    We consider the problem of routing a fleet of feeders for civil air-to-air refueling operations. In the air-to-air refueling problem, a fixed set of cruisers requires refueling by a fleet of feeders at fixed locations and fixed points in time. A typical objective function is to minimize the fuel consumption or the total number of … Read more
