The Challenge
A missed slot at a busy hub pushes the aircraft to the back of the queue and drags later rotations with it. It persists because handling, fuelling and air traffic feeds sit apart with no owner on the ramp.
How It Works
- Reads turnaround milestone messages, stand and gate plans, slot allocations and ground rosters.
- Predicts off-block time per turnaround and tests re-sequencing against slots and connections.
- Alerts the duty manager with a re-sequencing recommendation while the slot can still be held.
What It Removes
- Radio chasing of turnaround milestone status
- Whiteboard re-sequencing of stand allocation
- Retrospective-only reporting of slot adherence
Input Data RequirementsTurnaround milestone messages, airport slot allocations, stand and gate plans, ground handling rosters, fuelling and catering schedules, connections
