Benefits achieved
Efficient Resource Utilisation
Cost savings in the area of personnel and reduced additional investments (e.g. in equipment, gates, locations and aircraft)Significant Improved Punctuality
Shorter aircraft turnaround times, hence more flights per time unit. An enhanced reputation for punctuality also makes the airport more attractive for transfer passengers.A recent NeuroPie study of a a smaller airport with about 3 Mio passengers p.y. showed the monthly cost of delay and therefore the benefit of higher punctuality:
- substantial goodwill loss to passengers for waiting times
- productivity loss to airlines
- lost 15% of stand capacity
