Flight Scheduler ✈️

What is it?

This application was intends to serve an easy way for airline companies to schedule their flights. The schedule developed by the software will depend upon the number of planes they have in service and the routes they want to offer. The airline company will have to input the routes which it wishes to cover and the number of planes to get a schedule for its flights. \

My Interest

Scheduling software systems have been fascinating me ever since I learnt about their existence. The ability of a computer program to help decide which tasks should take place when, in order for us to be "efficient" has always excited me. Further research into this topic revealed to me that airline companies often use such software to schedule their flights as flights usually have very specific time durations. Therefore, I decided to create one such software for my personal project.

User Stories

As an airline company, we want to be able to:

• add a flight route to the existing list of routes.
• delete an existing flight route from the list of routes.
• view the list of routes we are currently serving.
• edit the number of planes available.
• search for a route using its ID.
• save all the airline information to files.
• load previously saved airline information from files.
• get an efficient flight schedule for the routes.*

Instructions

• You can generate the first event (adding a route) by clicking on the "Add Route" button and filling the appropriate fields.
• You can generate the second event (deleting a route) by selecting the route from the list interface and clicking the "Delete Route" button.
