Transportation by airplane is one of the best options because it provides a faster travel time when compared to other modes. This provides benefits but also risks because this business requires a significant investment. To be profitable in the aviation business, fleet planning must be carried out carefully using an appropriate methodological approach and an important part of the process of planning is the selection of aircraft. Business can gain a competitive advantage by choosing the appropriate aircraft. This study aims to assist decision-makers in selecting aircraft for the charter business for cargo purposes by using the right criteria and methods. Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods are used as a decision-making aid, as in this study, that utilizes the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) combined with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). FAHP is used because it deals with the ambiguity that comes with decision-making and TOPSIS that maximizes the benefit criteria while offering the solution that minimizes the cost criteria. This article focuses on the topic of decision support for aircraft selection. This is a problem that an air charter company in Indonesia is facing as it invests in chartering aircraft for cargo purposes. The problem has 3 alternatives to be considered that must be evaluated using 3 main criteria: aircraft specifications, financial and added value indicators, and 10 sub-criteria. A systematic literature review was carried out to identify the criteria considered in aircraft selection especially in the cargo-oriented air charter business, as well as to identify research gaps within articles relevant to aircraft selection. Three experts who participated in this study identified the appropriate criteria, resulting in 10 out of 45 sub-criteria. Reliability tests were also performed with positive results. FAHP was used to obtain the weights of criteria and through TOPSIS the alternatives aircraft were evaluated. Previous research has focused on the selection of aircraft for the scheduled flight business of transporting passengers (airlines), despite the fact that there are some fundamental differences between airlines and charter businesses. Findings in this study showed sub-criteria in the selection of aircraft for airlines such as Cost per Available Seat Miles (CASM) and Comfort were not considered in the selection of aircraft for cargo charter. This study contributes to help practitioners in selecting aircraft for cargo charter operations business, as well as academics in providing research in aircraft selection.
