Aircraft Turnaround Time
Aircraft turnaround time is the duration between an aircraft’s arrival at a gate and its departure for the next flight. It includes processes such as passenger boarding and deboarding, baggage handling, refueling, catering, and maintenance. Efficient turnaround times are critical for maintaining airline schedules and reducing operational costs. CAST Aircraft Simulation helps airports and airlines optimize turnaround procedures, minimizing delays and improving efficiency.
With this glossary we would like to give short, basic explanations and definitions for important and frequently used terms in the fields of Analysis, Runway and Terminal Capacity Assessment and Airport Simulation/Allocation. These are based on our experience of practical application in the industry. We would be happy to provide you with more detailed definitions and further explanations. Please feel free to contact us.
