Improve your turnaround performance, increase handler efficiency and reduce operational costs.
AiQ’s apron capacity planning knowledge improves aircraft turnaround and on-time performance of airlines, handlers and other stakeholders to keep flight schedules on time.
Our expert team analyse, model and optimise your apron operations. Working with the relevant individual stakeholders we resolve pinch-points, improve the turnaround process, and increase Ground Support Equipment (GSE) utilisation.
