The aircraft turnaround process comprises the sequence of ground operations required to service the aircraft from the in-block to the off-block time. Turnaround delays constitute a very significant portion of total delay. The causes are many, including tight scheduling, technical problems, boarding issues, airport equipment, security measures as well as operational difficulties experienced by ground handlers.
