Static models on single leg airline revenue management generally consider booking limits or protection limits as the decision variables to control reservation requests. In this talk, we consider an alternative framework in which the decision variables are the closing times of fare classes. In a continuous time model with non-homogeneous Poisson arrivals, cancellations, and no-shows, we study the problem of finding optimal closing times in order to maximize the expected net revenue from a given flight. We analyze the value function, point out some easy cases, and bring an easily implementable solution method. We also illustrate this method on some numerical examples. This is a joint work with Hans Frenk and Behrooz Pourghannad. <\/p>\n
