  • A Two-Door Airplane Boarding Approach When Using Apron Buses
    sustainability Article A Two-Door Airplane Boarding Approach When Using Apron Buses Camelia Delcea * , Liviu-Adrian Cotfas , Nora Chirit,ă and Ionut, Nica Department of Economic Informatics and Cybernetics, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010522 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected] (L.-A.C.); [email protected] (N.C.); [email protected] (I.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-769-652-813 Received: 3 September 2018; Accepted: 8 October 2018; Published: 10 October 2018 Abstract: Boarding is one of the major processes of airplane turnaround time, with a direct influence on the airline companies’ costs. From a sustainable point of view, a faster completion of the boarding process has impact not only on the airline company’s long-term performance, but also on customers’ satisfaction and on the airport’s possibility of offering more services without additional investments in new infrastructure. Considering the airplane boarding strategies literature, it can be observed that the latest papers are dealing with developing faster boarding strategies, most of them considering boarding using just one-door of the aircraft. Even though boarding on one-door might be feasible for the airports having the needed infrastructure and sufficient jet-bridges, the situation is different in European airports, as the use of apron buses is fairly common. Moreover, some of the airline companies have adapted their boarding pass in order to reflect which door one should board once they get down from the bus. While using these buses, the boarding strategies developed in the literature are hard to find their applicability. Thus, a new method for boarding on two-door airplanes when apron buses are used is proposed and tested against the actual boarding method.

  • Determining the Number of Passengers for Each of Three Reverse Pyramid Boarding Groups with COVID-19 Flying Restrictions
    S S symmetry Article Determining the Number of Passengers for Each of Three Reverse Pyramid Boarding Groups with COVID-19 Flying Restrictions Camelia Delcea 1 , R. John Milne 2 and Liviu-Adrian Cotfas 1,* 1 Department of Economic Informatics and Cybernetics, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, 010552 Bucharest, Romania; [email protected] 2 David D. Reh School of Business, Clarkson University, 333 B.H. Snell Hall, Potsdam, NY 13699, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-771-269-599 Received: 5 November 2020; Accepted: 4 December 2020; Published: 9 December 2020 Abstract: The onset of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2 has changed many aspects of people’s economic and social activities. For many airlines, social distancing has reduced airplane capacity by one third as a result of keeping the middle seats empty. Additionally, social distancing between passengers traversing the aisle slows the boarding process. Recent literature has suggested that the reverse pyramid boarding method provides favorable values for boarding time and passenger health metrics when compared to other boarding methods with social distancing. Assuming reverse pyramid boarding with the middle seats unoccupied, we determined the number of passengers to include in each of three boarding groups. We assumed that passengers use a jet-bridge that connects the airport terminal to the airplane’s front door. We used agent-based modeling and a stochastic simulation to evaluate solutions. A full grid search found an initial good solution, and then local search optimization determined the best solution based upon the airline’s relative preference for minimizing average boarding time and minimizing risks to previously seated passengers from later-boarding, potentially contagious passengers breathing near them.

  • Boarding an Aircraft
    Last update: 22.04.2021 Boarding an aircraft Boarding an aircraft takes place straight from the departure lounge, to which passengers are directed after checking in and passing through the security checkpoint. Each flight is given an appropriate gate/exit at which passengers wait to board the plane. Boarding can take place through a special jet bridge connected to the plane or directly from the airport apron - then passengers are transported by bus to the plane or they move along a separate path and go up the stairs to board it. Boarding time information is displayed on screens in the departure lounge. Priority boarding In most cases, it is a common practice used by airlines to first board people traveling with young children, pregnant women and the disabled. Priority boarding is also available to those who have purchased such a service or are traveling in a higher travel class (First Class, Business Class), as well as those with loyalty program cards. How to order? If you want to use the priority boarding option, you can purchase the service by selecting the suitable item in the booking process on our website or after booking the ticket, select the suitable option in the "My bookings" tab in Your eSky account. You can also use it to manage your booking yourself. If you are not a registered user, create an account and import your booking. In addition, it is worth using the eSky mobile application, thanks to which you will get immediate access to your reservations at any time and place.

  • Notice of Intent to Impose and Use Passenger Facility Charges (Pfc’S)
    NOTICE OF INTENT TO IMPOSE AND USE PASSENGER FACILITY CHARGES (PFC’S) The Fort Wayne-Allen County Airport Authority (the Authority) intends to file a new application with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to impose and use additional PFC’s at Fort Wayne International Airport (the Airport). In addition, the Authority intends to amend two previously approved applications, reducing the amount collected on the original applications from $28,608,457 to $20,717,975. New Projects: In its application to the FAA, the Authority intends to impose and use $4,110,000 in PFC’s to pay the allowable costs for the following additional projects with estimated PFC’s enclosed in parentheses: replace Jet Bridge 8 ($750,000); upgrade ARFF Vehicle’s Snozzle Controls ($55,000); upgrade the Public Address System from analog ($35,000) to digital; two Snow Removal Vehicles with Plow and Mid Mount Broom Attachments ($1,350,000); Runway Snow Broom ($550,000); replace Jet Bridge 7 ($750,000); purchase a Commercial Aircraft Deicer ($270,000) to handle regional jets and all single aisle aircraft; upgrade Shared Use Infrastructure Technology Environment equipment ($150,000); and a Terminal Building Planning Study ($200,000). Project Justifications: The Upgrade of the Public Address System to Digital involves replacing individual analog microphone stations to digital because the current analog system is no longer supported by the manufacturer. These stations are located in areas accessible to the public and are used not only to broadcast flight information, but also to broadcast emergency and security messages. The Authority will engage a consultant to complete the Terminal Building Planning Study.

  • Norwegian Boeing 787-8/9 Dreamliner
    Norwegian Boeing 787-8/9 Dreamliner NOR 2018-18 – V02 – 09JUL18 – 787 Briefing Aircraft Construction Materials The Boeing 787 makes greater use of composite materials in its airframe and primary structure than any previous Boeing commercial airplane. Undertaking the design process without preconceived ideas enabled Boeing engineers to specify the optimum material for specific applications throughout the airframe. The result is an airframe comprising nearly half carbon fiber reinforced plastic and other composites. This approach offers weight savings on average of 20 percent compared to more conventional aluminum designs. Selecting the optimum material for a specific application meant analyzing every area of the airframe to determine the best material, given the operating environment and loads that a component experiences over the life of the airframe. For example, aluminum is sensitive to tension loads but handles compression very well. On the other hand, composites are not as efficient in dealing with compression loads but are excellent at handling tension. The expanded use of composites, especially in the highly tension-loaded environment of the fuselage, greatly reduces maintenance due to fatigue when compared with an aluminum structure. Titanium can withstand comparable loads better than aluminum, has minimal fatigue concerns, and is highly resistant to corrosion. Titanium use has been expanded on the 787 to roughly 14 percent of the total airframe. Other Carbon laminate Steel 5% Carbon sandwich 10% Other composites Composites Titanium 50% Aluminum 15% Titanium Titanium/steel/aluminum Aluminum 20% 2 Carbon Fiber Hidden Damage Reporting of damage or any form of contact with the aircraft is critical as damage may not be visually detected as easily as on an aluminum aircraft.

  • Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 382
    Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 382 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel Airport Terminal Services Effective August 4, 2015 Part 382 • The Air Carrier Access Act was implemented in 1986 and prohibits air carriers from discriminating against passengers with a disability Passengers with Disabilities There are currently an estimated 54 million American’s with disabilities and as the number continues to increase, so will the number of disabled air travelers. Airlines carried approximately 10.2 million disabled travelers. This means about 5% of our passengers have some level of disability. Keep in mind, an individual may also be considered temporarily disabled after a recent surgery or suffering a broken limb. When traveling by air, disabled passengers look for the same level of service as their fellow travelers. Your job is to focus on meeting the needs of our passengers, regardless of their abilities. Surveys indicate the services most important to passengers with disabilities are: •An accommodating staff •Guaranteed preferred seating •Employee assistance during check-in and arrival Passengers with Disabilities Disabilities will vary and may include: Physical – Paraplegia, Cerebral Palsy, Quadriplegia, Hemiplegia or Disfigurement Sensory – Hearing, Vision or Speech Intellectual – Downs Syndrome, Emotional Illness or Mental Illness What can you do? When approached by a passenger with a disability do not identify them by their disability or refer to them as a “wheelchair passenger”. Each person has special needs and your job is to help determine those needs. Never assume you know exactly what to do, always ask first. When discussing travel assistance, phrase statements as offers rather then requirements.

  • ACRP Problem Statement No. 13-10-11 Recommended Allocation:
    ACRP Problem Statement No. 13-10-11 Recommended Allocation: -- Airport Jet-Way Maintenance and Operation Impact on Aircraft ECS ACRP Staff Comments: The term, "ECS" stands for Environmental Control Systems, and was not defined in the problem statement. TRB Aviation Group Committees Comments: AIRCRAFT/AIRPORT COMPATIBILITY: Jetways, APUs, and preconditioned air systems are separate pieces of equipment, and may be owned by individuals as opposed to airports. Perhaps this area of study is best left to the vendors, although tracking of O&M could be an element of overall airport asset management. AVIATION SECURITY AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: The research problem points to work already done in this area with regard to ASHRAE standards and FAA's lack of regulation in this area. The concern seems to be largely regulatory in nature and not specifically a research concern. It remains unclear if there is a need to pursue new standards given that general assessment of the current situation is that existing standards are not followed. Additional thought for consideration: This study addresses conditioned air (hot/cold) supplied to airline aircraft parked at a jetway [aka passenger loading bridge; aka jet bridge]. The air handler affixed to the loading bridge provides the conditioned air to the aircraft via 12”- to 18”-diameter flexible pipe/duct which is manually attached by ground crew to the parked aircraft. Ownership of loading bridges at US airports is 5/6th airport and 1/6th airline (proposer’s figures). The proposer is asking to survey the US to determine the condition and dedicated maintenance of all of these air handler units, associated parts, and the loading bridges themselves.
