Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
This project will study and analyse the aircraft ground performance during a classical turn-around at Barcelona-El Prat Airport while assessing process efficiency and robustness from on-stand arrival to departure. Description of the key ground phases required to have the aircraft ready for take-off, including all, economical, ecological and security constrains (on-stand securing, de-boarding/boarding, baggage offload/onload, cabin cleaning, catering, water/toilet services, GPU/APU power, re-fueling when applicable, and pushback). Identification of task dependencies, required resources, and ramp interface points where disruptions occur. Evaluation and measurement of milestones and timings to determine the critical path, variability, and main delay drivers. The goal is to provide an operational optimization proposal (sequencing, coordination, and resource allocation) with quantified recommendations to reduce delays and improve ground performance.

Orientació a l'estudiant:
The student will learn the key features of operational procedures during an aircraft turn-around consider on-stand securing, de-boarding/boarding, baggage offload/onload, cabin cleaning, and others. Particular focus will be given to the optimization in time of the different required tasks. The student has to familiarize with operational and planing procedures from efficiency and economical perspective. Supervisor and student will meet regular basis about once a week to evaluate the progress and discuss the following steps. In case of bigger problems the student can approach the supervisor any time in order to solve the problems as soon as possible in order to avoid any hold backs.



Horari d'atenció a estudiants per a l'assignació de projecte: Regular meetings of about 1-2h will be setup weekly in order to check, discuss and evaluate the progress as well to plan the following steps. In case of bigger problems extraordinary meetings will be done as soon as possible.
