Abstract : The objective of the proposed work is to use an optimal scheduling algorithm for real-time application. A grid is considered to be an infrastructure that bonds and unifies globally remote and diverse resources in order to provide computing support for a wide range of applications. Real time applications in an industrialized technological infrastructure such as telecommunication systems, factories, defense systems, aircraft and space stations pose relatively rigid requirements on their performance. Aircraft scheduling represents the best example of real-time applications. The main focus of this work is to check the time taken for turn-around activities which comprises of taxi in, load/unload baggage, deboarding, water fueling, cleaning, catering, boarding, de-icing, take off processes, thus relating in the lowest flight delays and shortest waiting time. The optimal scheduling algorithm is used for aircraft take-offs. The penalties are associated with proper scheduling but delayed turn around activities, improper scheduling and early/late takeoffs.
