What servicers can be expected at the diversion airport
All ground support services coordination include ( where available ):
• Ground Handling services plus refueling, security, deicing, etc.
• Diversion Coordinator at each diversion location
• Passenger and crew assistance from landing to departure – transportation, lodging, meals, communications, and security
• Communication with passport control and customs clearance (Russian CIQ make unpredictable decisions)
• Cargo off/on load, storage, and security arrangements
• Credit for airport fees/ground support services and fuel
• Assistance with obtaining overflight and landing permits
• Inspection coordination and guidance with all of the paperwork and filings Diversion Decision
ELEMENTS OF THE DECISION MAKING
• Always notify GAC ASAP and provide all relevant information - time is of the essence • Ability for aircraft to continue to a larger and more suitable airport • Airport Certification and types of aircraft serviced • Lack of specific equipment such as tow bar • Absence of certified maintenance personnel • Delay in service (30 -40 min) • May request aircraft maintenance schematics
• Risk involved in a sick passenger diversion • Medical Advise Services • Cold weather conditions • Delay of services related to aircraft type • Crew time limitation • Luggage offload • Multiple family members • Customs/border issues • Distance to medical facilities • Every emergency situation is unique • Diversion into smaller airport Diversion Challenges
Possible Challenges To Overcome
• It takes time to make arrangements for ground handling and passenger services • Communicating the diversion and plans to stranded passengers • Respond to passengers needs • Small terminal transfer area and small catering facility – depending on the airport • Servicing aircraft in cold weather conditions • Servicing aircraft types GH is not familiar with • Absence of certified maintenance personnel • Possible problems with CIQ • Delay in rescue flight planning • Decision-making to send passengers to the hotel • Servicing to elderly, infant, and special needs passengers • First class and VIP passengers
• Language barrier • Crew time restrictions • Spare parts delivery • Equipment needs: mobile crane, forklift, and other heavy equipment Recommendations Highlights
Recommended Practices:
• One person/department from the IOC Crisis Control Center to coordinate • Passenger communication (number one complaint) and social media • Designated crew member(s) to update passengers • Setup a dedicated email address and copy to all relevant departments • Timely communication and coordination of plans between the airline and GAC • Arrange rescue flight as soon as possible (extra crew) • Patience is a virtue Recommendations
Rescue flight planning:
• Rescue flight coordination (and status updates) with GAC
• All crew, maintenance, and other personnel must be included in the general declaration
• Maintenance –include all maintenance personnel and tools (tow bar)
• Aircraft type –depends on airport facilities GAC UNIQUE SERVICES– WHAT SETS US APART GAC HAS PIONEERED POLAR DIVERSION SUPPORT IN RUSSIA WITH 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT SERVICES GAC PROVIDES ARE PRE, DURING, AND POST DIVERSION PRE DIVERSION SUPPORT - ASSIST WITH DIVERSION PLANNING AND EXERCISE - MEETS US FAA, JCAB, CAAC AND OTHER AUTHORITIES ETOPS GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS - GAC CREATED PROPRIETARY AIRPORT INFORMATIONAL DATABASE (airport equipment information in seconds – high loaders, etc.) - ALTERNATE AIRPORTS AVAILABILITY REPORTING BASED ON MOST CURRENT INFORMATION - PROCUREMENT OF DOMESTIC AIRPORTS NOTAMS (NORILSK, POLYARNUI) - NOTAM CLARIFICATION (example of runway equipment u/s) - RISKS AND REASONS FOR DIVERSION (sick passenger, etc.) - CONFER WITH DISPATCH AND ADVISE ON BEST AVAILABLE AIRPORT - FAST ARRANGEMENTS FOR SERVICES (in some cases after APT ops hrs)
