Assaia – The ApronAI

Ground delay data from Assaia’s latest report highlights significant differences in operational efficiency across continents. Europe’s common-use gate model offers more flexibility and efficiency, with lower average delays: 3.9 minutes for narrow-body and 6.1 minutes for mixed stands. North America's airline-operated gate model results in a notable 10.7-minute delay for narrow-bodies but a narrower gap for wide-bodies at 2.3 minutes. This data underscores the impact of gate ownership on operational performance and turnaround efficiency.  To know more, download: https://lnkd.in/eXC6C58f  #AI #Assaia #AirportOperations #TurnaroundBenchmarkReport

Assaia's precision and efficiency have made Santa’s annual gifting and globe-trotting possible! Because whether it’s a sleigh or a plane, the “perfect turn” is everything. Season's Greetings to all of our friends 🎅

📊 Flights with delays under 5 minutes save 0.6 minutes, while 15+ minute delays lose 29.1 minutes. Our 2024 Turnaround Benchmark Report reveals how to ensure timely takeoffs and improve performance. 🔴 Delayed boarding is hard to recover from, making prompt starts crucial. 🚚 Delays push back fueling and catering, extending durations and causing ripple effects. ⛟ Pushback tugs must be ready, stressing the need for efficient ground support.

Every minute counts on the tarmac. Our 2024 Turnaround Benchmark Report highlights the moments that make the difference between smooth turnarounds and costly delays 📊 👥 Chocks are secured 0.6 minutes after parking, showing that ground handlers are ready to act promptly.  🕛 Late arrivals delay bridge/stair connections, ground power, and baggage unloading, pushing back the schedule.  🛫 Delays in setting up the bridge or stairs can snowball, affecting departure times and overall efficiency. 📥 Download the full report for more insights https://lnkd.in/eXC6C58f  #AI #AirportOperations #TurnaroundBenchmarkReport

Christiaan Hen chatted with Ground Handling International about how artificial intelligence is transforming airport operations. Turnaround times are critical for profitability and passenger satisfaction, as delays can lead to missed connections and increased operational costs. Real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and automated decision-making enable optimization at every stage of the process. #optimizedturnarounds #AirportAI

Assaia’s 2024 Turnaround Benchmark Report analyses gate utilization, revealing how airports of varying sizes and hub statuses differ in turnaround efficiency: Smaller, non-hub airports handle quicker turnarounds for narrowbody and mixed stands due to fewer connecting flights, reducing complexity. Conversely, large hub airports achieve faster turnarounds for widebody flights, as home carriers can better optimize fleet operations. In smaller airports, widebody aircraft often face delays waiting for return flights, slowing turnaround times. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eXC6C58f #turnaroundbenchmarkreport

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends and colleagues who are celebrating today.

Big congrats to Greater Toronto Airports Authority on your ACI World - Airports Council International Best Innovation in Airport Operations Award 🏆 for Optimizing Turnaround Operations Using Artificial Intelligence with Assaia – The ApronAI. The whole Assaia team is super proud to have contributed to your success 🎉 . https://lnkd.in/duvNYgYg

London’s Gatwick Airport trialling Smart Stand technology Abhi Chacko, London Gatwick’s head of innovation, said: “London Gatwick is the world’s most efficient single-runway airport. We handle up to 55 movements an hour, and aircraft turnaround is the most important activity for maintaining on-time performance. Currently, activities are measured manually and have to be performed by staff on the ground, going from stand to stand. Smart Stand has the potential to significantly improve the aircraft turn process, bringing a range of benefits to airlines, ground handlers, the airport and most importantly, passengers."
