Deep TurnaroundGet a grip on turnaround management

Deep Turnaround helps airports improve the aircraft turnaround processes based on historic, real-time and predictive insights. Using AI image-based processing, the Deep Turnaround algorithm detects and reports over 70 unique turnaround events in 30 turnaround processes. It detects delays as early as 40 minutes before the targeted off-block-time, and helps to make informed decisions.

Improve On-time performance

Deep Turnaround gives insight into what before was a blind-spot in data. Historical insights provide the opportunity to change processes structurally.

Make turnarounds predictable

Based on over 150.000 turnarounds , Deep Turnaround’s predictive capabilities detect delays before anyone else can.

Increase collaboration

Effective communication is key for effective airport processes. Objective turnaround data facilitates a base for constructive discussion and cooperation.

The Turnaround process – a source of delays and misalignment

The turnaround process, at the heart of airport processes and yet a blind spot in terms of insight. Every day, this is causing delays, capacity inefficiencies and posing challenges in collaboration with sector partners.

At most airports, between 40-50% of delays occur during the turnaround process. Delays usually lead to more delays: delays in the turnaround of one aircraft can lead to a last-minute gate change for another, which again could cause delays in ground handling leading to a missed runway slot. Throughout this process, there is a lot of misalignment between all involved sector partners, with different perspectives of the truth.

The turnaround process used to be a black box. With Deep Turnaround, we generate the necessary data and insights. By looking at the same transparent, real-time and historical data with all our partners, we can collaborate to focus even more closely on efficient planning and execution with a better OTP as a result. And ultimately, a higher customer satisfaction.

Finally, we have an accurate overview of the turnaround process. This allows us to optimise day-planning, and it makes it a lot easier to remotely change or set an accurate TOBT (Target Off-Block Time). In turn, this improves the information provision towards the airport and Air Traffic Control.
