. This paper presents the problem of airport ground crew and equipment scheduling and a case of scheduling algorithm development for the Ljubljana Jože Pu?nik Airport.

The airport personnel and equipment scheduling problem is complex as there are conflicting demands in assigning personnel and equipment to tasks connected with aircraft arrivals and departures. The scheduling problem is influenced by the organisation of work, which is in turn influenced by the size of airport and amount of traffic.

The goal of the project was to develop a solution that would allow rapid rescheduling and thus shorten the airport response time and improve the adaptability in conditions of dynamic flight schedules.

We have developed algorithms that perform task schedule optimization, personnel and equipment requirements optimization and shift planning for airport ground crews.
