Cover Story: In the offshore energy sector, efficient personnel transportation is crucial for maintaining operations. This paper introduces tactical helicopter transportation planning on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for a stable demand period, focusing on the selection of helicopter resources and the construction of a repetitive weekly timetable of flights to ensure coverage of installations' weekly flight demands from the heliport, while minimising fixed and variable costs. This study presents an iterative solution algorithm based on the decomposition of the flight-based model formulation validated on instances from Equinor, the largest operator on the Shelf. Considering the advantages of the algorithm performance in terms of solution quality and speed compared to manual planning, it is well-suited as a solution engine in an automated decision-support tool. View this paper
