1. A method for facilitating travel carrier optimization comprising the steps of: receiving data from a set of input parameters; facilitating data quality control processing on said data; preparing said data by subtracting rebates from spend to compute a base net-sector price; defining constraint cells by at least one of airport pairs, class of service or ticket currency of origin; calculating global monetary rebate on said cells; computing global base spend; building constraints from at least a portion of said data; wherein upper or lower limits are added to establish the spend or sector for each carrier; deriving a maximum potential number of sectors; excluding the lowest value cells from a ticket data set; calculating a maximum potential limit correction for each travel carrier and cell; facilitating data quality controls, wherein low ticket prices are removed or the average sector price is adjusted to a mean value; adding a sector filters data set; adding a spend filters data set; and executing a goal programming processor to determine an optimal solution.
