Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The airport tech helping to prevent delayed flights
Flight delays occur all the time. When a passenger aircraft arrived at the gate, the passengers need to be disembarked, the cabin needs to be cleaned, the baggage needs to be unloaded and loaded, the hungry aircraft needs to be refueled and restocked, the flight crew needs to be replaced, and finally departing passengers can board. If all these turnaround processes go as scheduled, you can board your flight on time. Yes, if everything goes smoothly. But if anything goes wrong or gets delayed, the subsequent processes are put off. And each process is fulfilled by different personnel with specific skills and qualifications, just like a factory assembling line. In order to reduce delays for turnaround time, an Israeli company came up with a high-tech solution by AI that identifies any delay in the process and proposes countermeasures to the airport operators and airline’s ground personnel. Will we see fewer delays after the pandemic?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how technologies are being used at today’s airports.
