      In recent years, affected by the increase in the number of international travelers, domestic and foreign airlines have gradually expanded the size of their company's fleet to meet the huge travel demand. In the past, there has been much literatures on scheduling of crew members, aircrafts, and maintenance, but there are few literatures on the assignment in temporarily events. As airline fleets expand, how to use aircrafts effectively has become an important topic of discussion, especially in the event of temporary events that lead to the interruption of original planning, how airline management can use existing resources to quickly adjust. Therefore, from the perspective of system optimization, this study aims at the minimum schedule change rate of the aircrafts in the case of all services being served, considers the aircraft type, service continuity and aircraft maintenance restrictions, and uses mobile network skills and mathematical planning methods to construct an optimized temporary aircraft assignment model. Finally, this study uses case data from different scenarios for testing, and preliminary tests show that the solution results of this research model are correct and reasonable.
