Solutions for airports
Airport ground staff scheduling driven by the flight schedule
Airports that run their own ground or terminal services staff to the combined schedule of every airline they serve. ShiftLine turns that schedule into demand per function, sizes the team and builds compliant shift lines.
What planning teams deal with
- Demand depends on the whole airport's schedule, not one airline's.
- Passenger-facing functions need enough staff to meet service-level targets at the peaks.
- Equipment has to be planned with the people who use it.
- Shift lines must follow local labor law and any collective agreements.
Demand you can trace to flights
See demand per function by weekday, as an average, a realistic busy day (P85) or the maximum, and break any interval down to the rule and flights behind it.
