Present scheduled flights are arranged between two airports as a pair of flights. This paper proposed a novel and innovative method that one flight executes more scheduled flight plans over more airports and then come back to the departure airport and at the same time another flight execute the opposite scheduled flight from the same departure airport and come back to the airport from the opposite flight route. After a comparative analysis of various heuristic algorithms^[1], ant colony algorithm is selected to solve this problem. In this paper, choose eight airports as the research objects and obtain the results with the help of computer. The outcome indicates the validity of the improved ant colony algorithm.
