Maybe this is already in place? I haven't track exactly when pax start showing up and if that time is based on the max capacity of the aircraft.Īlso, a time to actually,"close" the gate would be nice, maybe a right click option on the gate agent desk? That way if you're just running a smaller, daytime only airport, you won't have airline staff standing around empty gates all night.
That (I think) would prevent people from showing up at the airport the day before the flight is scheduled to leave.
I'd guess that the first thing would be to extend the turnaround time but also, maybe have either a checkbox or something to indicate ,"Terminating Flight?" Or possibly set the, "First Pax arriving" (at the airport) to a specific time prior to scheduled departure. I've worked at 2 airports: one regional and one international and they both had flights that basically, "closed the gate" once they arrived and then stayed overnight (much longer than the 5 hour max turnaround time we currently have). Kinda late to this party but, this also brings up the question of terminating/originating flights. I wonder if the fact that you can't schedule an actual EAM flight in SA is because those slots are meant to go to cargo. Sometimes it may happen when it's not supposed to, but usually it's not supposed to. It's really rare even at the big airports I'm familiar with to have a passenger flight scheduled to arrive at 3AM and take off at 4:30AM, for example. I'd love to see cargo flights overnight in SA, but passenger flights can pretty much be scheduled realistically as is. 5AM, it does suddenly get pretty hectic, but you can do that in SA if you extend the gate time of your latest arrivals, which is the way it's done in real life too. I live basically right next to JFK airport in NYC and there really aren't many passenger flights at all between 2-5AM.
