Network Models of Air Transportation

Air transportation is vulnerable to a variety of disruptions (for example, weather), and its networked nature results in their impacts being felt across the system. In order to achieve a resilient and robust air transportation system, we develop tools that give us a better understanding of system behavior, and the algorithms needed for recovery post-disruption.
