  Abstract:
  The objective of this research is the development of a new mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model designed for optimally loading a set of unit load devices into a cargo aircraft. The main contribution is to consider sequences of destinations with pick-up and delivery and to minimize the cost and environmental impacts. We take into account two major costs on which the loading activity can intervene: the cost of time (that includes wages of employees used for loading, fees to the airline for usage of the runway,...) and the cost of fuel as the fuel consumption depends on the way ULDs are loaded in the aircraft. Therefore, the challenge is to find the optimal assignment of ULDs into the aircraft so that the locations of the centers of gravity (CG) for each route induces minimal fuel consumption and simultaneously, the loading time at each destination is as short as possible.
