cargo scheduling

[groundbum2]

hey all.

I know for pax you cannot schedule flights closer than 60 minutes without penalty, unless the route has more than 1500pax/day on then you can go down to 30 minute minimum spacing.

Is there anything similar for dedicated cargo flights, ie any penalty for closely spaced flights?

Has anybody noticed if two cargo flights depart quite close behind each other, say 0700 and 0800, whether LF% suffers as the first flight has scarfed all the cargo. Would it be better then to schedule for, say, 0700 and 1900 or somesuch? I know for passengers it doesn't matter a hoot.

Many thanks, Simon

No time constraints for cargo.

Does not capture more demand for either passengers or cargo  Maybe in AWS 4.0.

FYI in the real world of airline scheduling it is very common to have, say, two A320 flights departing DFW for ORD at 1800.  They are called "wingtip flights" and they drive agents and flight attendants crazy because passengers wind up at the wrong gate for the wrong flight.  And usually a mile apart in the terminal.

Even saw that in tiny lines like BVA-WRO, when RyanAir was competing WizzAir there. 2-3 flights a week for each, and both on friday at 2005. In the other terminal, of course. Argh. BVA"s terminals are small and not that far from each other, but still.
