Strong Correlation between Aircraft Ground Handling Times and Airline Profitability

A recent analysis by AirInsight of two million flights from FlightRadar24 operational data suggests a strong correlation between reduced aircraft ground handling times and increased profits. The authors argue that reducing “time on tarmac” can make an airline more competitive, and provide a strategic benefit that goes beyond fleet utilization and fiscal efficiency – cutting even one minute from average ground time may impact an airline’s profitability more than utilization alone.

But despite providing clear insight into the implications of this data, the authors leave readers questioning, “What can you do about it?”

It is critical for airlines to optimize their processes so that airplanes spend minimal time on the ground. Tego is a leader in aerospace digital transformation, enabling air framers, airlines and MRO agencies to use the data captured on their assets to be smarter about service and compliance actions at the point of use or repair.
