Air lines users are constantly in search of regular, on time service, reasonable cost, high safety with physical and psychological comfort. This study and the presented evaluation method for the analysis of the current situation along with the comparison of the airlines can help to improvise their services. The data have been analyzed by using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process, which was proposed by Saaty. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the Fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision Making methods for complicated and unstructured problems. Fuzzy decision making is observed to be a very significant tool. AHP methodology with the Fuzzy Linear Programming Model is found to make complex decisions with ease. Fuzziness and vagueness involved in the problem may contribute to poor judgment in AHP, but AHP-FLP model allows decision makers to consider the uncertain conditions. Thus AHP-FLP model is more relevant than AHP method for the selection of Airlines.
