Bonus question: Now going back to question 7, consider the more realistic assumption that there is a minimum turnaround time of 1 hour on the ground for unloading and cleaning each airplane before it is ready to fly for another flight. Assume that each of the three airports in the three cities can provide services to the airplanes by 9pm if needed, as the unloading for flights that arrive at 8pm might take one more hour. What is now the optimal number of airplanes that need to be leased?
[You would not see the bonus point applied right after the deadline, but it would be added later.]
