人们普遍认为，飞机只有在空中才能赚钱。因此，在地面上的周转时间（turn time）应尽量减少。对转弯时间有重要贡献的是飞机登机时间。许多不同的方案正在使用，从随机选择座位到复杂的登机组。描述了一个仿真模型来评估不同的登机策略。与早期的工作相比，它特别强调干扰，例如一定数量的乘客不跟随他们的登机组，而是提前或延迟登机。这项工作的一个令人惊讶的结果是，当乘客没有和他们指定的小组一起登机时，典型的反向登机策略得到了改进。其他提出的策略仍然是由少数登机组组成，但在干扰方面既快又强。
Common wisdom is that airplanes make money only when they are in the air. Therefore, turnaround time (turn time) on the ground should be reduced as much as possible. An important contribution to the turn time is airplane boarding time. Many different schemes are in use, from random seat selection to sophisticated boarding groups. A simulation model is described to evaluate different boarding strategies. In contrast to earlier work, it puts special emphasis on disturbances, such as a certain number of passengers not following their boarding group but boarding earlier or later. A surprising result of this work is that the typical back-to-front boarding strategy becomes improved when passengers do not board with their assigned group. Other proposed strategies still consist of small numbers of boarding groups but are both faster and more robust with regard to disturbances.
