A collaboration with Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and American Airlines helped save the airline an estimated $11 million by avoiding costs related to docking in severe weather and an additional $3.5 million annually in improved gate efficiencies and reduced fuel consumption during normal operating conditions.

When severe weather and the threat of lightning send ground crews indoors, an automated docking system continues to identify available gates and allows pilots to self-park at the gate.

Stopping the aircraft in the precise STOP position is even more critical when it is the large aircraft, such as an A380, because there isn't always a lot of room for error between the nose of these jumbo aircraft and the terminal wall. Safedock also verifies compatibility with aircraft at adjacent gates, which is also important when dealing with the larger aircraft.
When regular operations turn into irregular operations (IROPS), airports and airlines must communicate, share responsibility and work together to create a plan that offers real solutions – not just for the unlucky passengers, but also the ground support crews.
A recent DOT/FAA Diversion Forum, for example, initiated an industry-wide effort among airports, airlines and air traffic control systems to share real-time information on ground conditions, available gates and ramp closures to...
