Capital Airways: Part 1
In this lesson students are introduced to the concept of a network through an airline route map. The task extends into a detailed mathematical modelling activity with students exploring in teams how to re-design the network map to improve the airline’s profitability. This lesson is in two parts and is followed by Capital Airways: Part 2.
