Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop an efficient method of routing military cargo planes in war time. A model with a nonlinear objective function is developed to determine these routes which minimizes the maximum mission time of planes. Based on this model, a solution procedure is introduced. Then, a heuristic procedure is suggeited to handle various airport capacity constraints. As an extension of the study, a proposal is made on a'model which minimizes the total mission of the planes. Consequently a study is made on the behaviour of the model on some special cases.
