This demo clip shows how INFORM’S GS RealTime Stands & Terminal solution optimizes the allocation of flights to aircraft parking positions and immobile terminal resources as flight irregularities and mechanical issues restrict airport infrastructure capacity.
Automatic conflict resolution and optimized assignments - The optimizer automatically recalculates the allocation scenario based on the new situation. The terminal supervisor can also re-plan the flights manually thanks to the decision-making support offered by the system. Together with embedded reporting features, the system provides all of the necessary tools for the terminal supervisor to react appropriately and stay on the top of the operation at all times.

This demo clip shows how INFORM’s GroundStar TurnManager assists in proactively detecting and managing ground handling process disruptions within the overall turnaround process flow, which may ultimately result in the delay of an aircraft’s planned departure time.
When a disruption in a certain process is detected, the system will automatically calculate its impact on the subsequent dependent handling processes, as well as the resulting delay to the outbound flight leg of the turnaround.
