In aviation, flight schedule play a central part in the aircraft business for airlines and aircraft operation and management. The main crisis for this flight schedule is when the aircraft delay to reach to the destination airport which can give an effect to the entire management and operation for airlines and aircraft. The way to solve this problem is to minimize the time used for the whole aircraft operation by defining the factor to create the delay and to solve it by analysis.
Gate assignment is to make sure the aircraft management and operation system is in control at the airport. The problem with gate assignment is when there are many numbers of ungated flights at the airport. The main purpose of flight to gate assignment is to properly assign the aircraft to suitable gates, so that passengers can conveniently embark and disembark. The alternative is to define the number of gate that applied at the airport and reconstruct the gate assignment schedule to make sure there are no ungated flights at the apron of the terminal.
Cargo ground handling operation is located at the cargo terminal and it is used to pack all things in the pallet before we put it into the aircraft. The problem about cargo handling is not very important because it is related to the big size of the pack. So that the probability to be lost during handling is less if compare to baggage handling.
Baggage handling operation is located the passenger terminal or main terminal. It is related to the passenger baggage which is probability to be lost is high because of the size and misconduct by the baggage handler.
