In this paper we consider a generalization of the Fixed Job Scheduling Problem (FSP) which appears in a natural way in the aircraft maintenance process at an airport. A number of jobs has to be carried out, where the main attributes of a job are: a fixed start time, a fixed finish time and a value representing the priority of the job. For carrying out these jobs a number of machines is available. These machines are available in specific time intervals (shifts) only. A job can be carried out by a machine only if the interval between the start time and the finish time of the job is a subinterval of the shift of the machine. Furthermore, the jobs must be carried out in a non-preemptive way and each machine can be carrying out at most one job at the same time.
