The evaluation of aircraft transit: turnround time on airline's performance with reference to Malaysia Airline (MAS) B737 aircraft at Subang International Airport / Siti Syeailvia Abdul Karim

An appreciable contribution to time saving and in particular to utilization of the aircraft results from the revised approach of identifying the activities held during the aircraft on transit / turnround. Within the present available resources of labour, equipment and materials, the minimum time must be met in accordance to the assigned time specified. However, under a set of constraints, the optimization is being made using the Critical Path Analysis technique for the aircraft to achieve a more economical period of time on the ground. A saving in time can be obtained for the aircraft when compared to the traditional path stretching and holding at a longer time on the ground. From the study conducted, it seems to indicate that the sequencing activity proposed will lead to an appreciable maximisation the usage of the availability of the aircraft capacity as well as on ground time savings.
