This work creates a simulation tool that incorporates both aircraft parameters and airline operations into a combined optimisation algorithm to schedule aircraft from a defined fleet to meet the passenger demand of a given network of airports in the most economically and environmentally sustainable way. An holistic design space is characterised to aid in the research of sustainable aviation.
