Turnaround Benchmark Report 2024

Assaia's Turnaround Benchmark Report 2024 is now live, offering an unparalleled analysis of the aviation industry's turnaround processes. This comprehensive report dives deep into operational delays, identifying key areas for improvement and showcasing how turnarounds have evolved over the past two years.

In an industry where external factors such as severe weather, global conflicts, and economic fluctuations are beyond control, our report emphasizes the areas within your control that hold immense potential for optimization. Between 2023 and 2024, airports leveraging Assaia's insights saw a 6% reduction in ground delays and a 4% decrease in turnaround time—critical improvements that enable more efficient ground operations and increased aircraft utilization.

Discover how AI-driven solutions are transforming gate utilization, resulting in a 25% improvement in turns per gate. Whether you operate at a medium, non-hub, or large hub airport, our detailed insights into capacity utilization, APU runtime discrepancies, and airline performance offer valuable knowledge for strategic decision-making.

Other key findings include:

• Medium and non-hub airports outperform large hubs in turns per stand per day, and at reducing gaps between turns.
• Large hub airports outperform medium, small, and non-hub airports in terms of capacity utilization 
• Legacy airlines generally arrive earlier, and experience fewer departure and ground delays compared to low-cost carriers 
• There’s a significant gap between estimated and actual APU runtime (27% and 49%), revealing APUs are often left running for excess (and unnecessary) periods of time
