Basically, yield management is one of allocating and controlling passengers’ seats methods to optimize the airlines income. Normally, the existing yield management model will only consider the fare, demands and capacity variables. Other variables such as operational and distance will not be covered. When those variables are covered, they are considered as constant variables that will not affect the income optimization. The development of yield management model in this study is applying the linear programming model approach in order to obtain an optimum solution in the multy-leg flight by by inserting distance and operational cost variables to optimize the airlines income during passengers seats allocation.

Key word: yield management, operational cost, distance, multy leg
