Air Schedule - Interim Flight

This page is accessed via Operational Planning > Schedule Management > Air. Select an Air Schedule, then click New Interim Flight.

Use this page to create/edit interim flight details for an air schedule. You must enter multiple interim flights in the order they are going to occur.

1. Enter a unique Flight # for each interim flight that you record. The Flight # cannot be changed after the record is saved.
2. Identify the Service Provider (typically an airline) that offers this flight. The parameter Interline Flights Allowed controls the use of code sharing for interim airline flights.
3. Vehicle Type is the actual equipment that is used on the flight; for example, a 735 or 747 aircraft. Vehicle types are created in the Equipment Manager.
4. Choose a Source and Destination where the flight departs and arrives. In most cases, this would be an airport defined in the Location Manager. Oracle Transportation Management uses these locations in comparison with locations specified on an order or itinerary to find valid flight for a shipment.
5. Enter the Departure and Arrival Times for each location using the D (day), H (hour), M (minute) fields. Use the Hour and Minute fields to specify the time of day that the flight departs and arrives. Use the Day field to specify the number of days between flight departure and arrival. Oracle Transportation Management uses these times in comparison to the time window specified on an order to determine the valid flights for a shipment.
6. Service Class represents a class of service available on the flight. For example, OAG examples of Service Class are:
   1. • AC Pure Freighter flights/Trucks carrying loose cargo/containerized cargo (ULDs)/palletized cargo.
      • BC Passenger flights operated by wide-bodied aircraft carrying containerized cargo (ULDs)/palletized cargo.
      • PC Mixed configuration (combi) aircraft carrying loose cargo/containerized cargo (ULDs)/palletized cargo on the passenger deck.
      • P Passenger flights operated by narrow-bodied aircraft.
7. Stop Count can be used to identify the number of stops that will take place between the Source and Destination locations identified for the interim flight. This field is for information only and is not used in shipment planning.
