Assessment brief:
You will be required to work as part of a small team comprising of 5 members.
You are working in a small team within the Operations department of ‘Trans Asean Airlines’ (TAA), a Full Service Network Carrier (FSNC) operating out of Heathrow and based in Melbourne (MEL), Australia. You have two flights per day from London Heathrow (LHR) – one to San Francisco (SFO), operated by a 787-9, and one to
Dubai, operated by an A380 - both with a continuing service to MEL. There is a significant weather event disrupting flights into and out of Heathrow and the Heathrow ATM Demand and Capacity Balancing group (HADACAB) has determined that all airlines must reduce services due to limited capacity.
As a result, one of TAA’s flights must be cancelled before it departs from SFO or DXB bound for LHR. Both flights into and out of LHR were booked to capacity. Within your team you need to decide what considerations need to be made, actions which may be taken and provide full justification for your decisions supported by academic theory and real-world examples.
Take into account the aspects of Operations Management and apply aspects you feel most relevant with jus
