How are capacity and utilization of airplanes measured in the airline industry?
How are capacity and utilization of airplanes measured in the airline industry? Aircraft Utilization Measure of aircraft productivity, calculated by dividing aircraft block hours by the number of aircraft days assigned to service on air carrier routes. Typically presented in block hours per day.
What is capacity planning in aviation?
In general Airport Capacity Planning and Assessment defines all activities related to the capability of an airport system to handle a certain demand in flight and passengers.
What happens when a flight is over capacity?
When an overbooking occurs, airlines will attempt to negotiate with passengers to voluntarily give up their seats. Please note that if you have decided to voluntarily give up your seat, you will not be entitled to claim the compensation set out in Regulation EC 261/2004.
How can I check flight capacity?
Some airports have signs at the gate that will show how full the flight is. The only other option is to go through the sales flow at least a couple of hours before departure and put the guest count up to 8 (the max it will allow) and see if that flight is still available.
What are the three 3 factors that affect aircraft performance?
Pressure, temperature, and humidity have a great influence on aircraft performance because of their effect upon density. There is no rule-of-thumb or chart used to compute the effects of humidity on density altitude, but it must be taken into consideration.
What are the six indicators of aircraft?
All airplanes have six basic instruments: airspeed indicator, attitude indicator, altimeter, turn coordinator, heading indicator, and vertical speed indicator.
