Bus without the fuss

摘要

Speed of aircraft turnaround at an airport is a big factor in the economics of an airline. With remote stand flights, the availability of a bus at the right time, at the right stand, is a crucial element in disembarkation and re-embarkation of the aircraft within the time window available. Errors and delays in this apparently simple operation can lead to penalties measured in tens of thousands of pounds. And it's not just about penalty fines, for delays upset everyone: passengers, airlines and the airport authority.
