AIRCRAFT TURNAROUND ORCHESTRATION

A turnaround is a dozen teams working to their own clocks: crew, cleaning, fuel, cargo, bags and GSE, with no shared view of the critical path. The constraint that will blow the slot is only obvious once it already has.

Actors

  • Turnaround Coordinator
  • Ramp Operations Manager
  • Duty Manager

Systems / Vendors

  • A-CDM / AODB
  • GSE telematics
  • Crew / ground scheduling

Business Question

"Why do we only see what's going to blow the turnaround after pushback is already late?"

What SPoG Does

  • Unifies GSE status, crew availability and live flight schedules into one turnaround view.
  • Anticipates the next constraint on the critical path.
  • Drives the action that protects the slot before pushback.
