    With close to 4 billion origin-destination passenger journeys worldwide, airline operations have become a crucial factor in the global economy. With the increasing number of journeys and passengers, managing the daily operations of airlines have become a complicated task. We have proposed a real-time decision optimization platform for airline operations with the following subsystems: (1) determine the optimum path for a flight, (2) optimum fleet assignment, (3) optimum gate allocation, (4) optimum crew allocation. We have used an approximation (heuristics) based optimization approach: Genetic Programming (GP) to implement the modules. The results of our proposed platform illustrate that, the decision-making process of Airline Operations Control Center (AOCC) can be optimized, and dynamic change requirements can be accommodated.
