Optimum time management of first pre-flight departure by LCC operators at KLIA2 / Saanthi Pohmalay
The aim of the research was to investigate, the management of first flight, delay in first flight take off due to practices of matching pilots and aircraft on Low Cost Carriers (LCC). A case study and field study research strategies were employed for the methodology. A sample of 61 first flights of...
