PASSENGER FLOW FORECASTING

Terminal staffing is set against yesterday's pattern, so when a heavy inbound bank or an off-schedule wave hits, check-in, security and gates are all short at once. Queues build faster than supervisors can react, and the first anyone knows is a photo of the security hall doing the rounds.

Business Question

"We know the schedule weeks out. Why is the security queue still a surprise every single morning?"

What SPoG Does

  • Forecasts passenger volumes by hour, zone and terminal from schedule, load and historical patterns.
  • Triggers staffing and lane plans ahead of the peak, not once the queue has formed.
  • Re-forecasts continuously as flights, loads and delays move through the day.
