Step
Description
| Start | In a crisis context, an airport must make an airplane to take-off immediately and thus, prevent every incoming airplane from landing. |
| 1: Rerouting | A decision is made to close runways and flight plans for all incoming scheduled flights need to be modified accordingly ([step|file:///D:/users/GATTI/Dropbox/Thales/SocEDA/WP5/D5.4.1%E2%80%93Use_Case_description.doc#id.apk8le8hc0xr][2|file:///D:/users/GATTI/Dropbox/Thales/SocEDA/WP5/D5.4.1%E2%80%93Use_Case_description.doc#id.apk8le8hc0xr]). Airport ATC communicates with pilots (of incoming flights scheduled for landing at this airport) for reroute request. |
| 2: Flight plan modification | Once agreement is found on the final destination between ATC and the pilot:
# The pilot informs his airline of the flight plan modification and gives new information to his passengers.
# The alternate destination airport is informed of flight plan modification by ATC. |
| 3: Unexpected arrival warning | The local destination Airport authority warns ground operations handlers (Airport Bus company, Luggage Handling company, Security company, etc.) of the unexpected arrival.\\ \\
The Airline informs warns its own local ground staff (at destination) of the arrival at their airport. |
| 4: Unexpected arrival handling | The local destination Airport authority manages stand and gate, luggage belt and customs and security allocation, in anticipation of unexpected arrival. |
| 5: Arrival management | The local destination Airport authority puts into place stand and gate management (to transport passengers by bus to gate if needed, etc.) and provides information to passengers such as luggage belt location. |
| 6: Local crisis management | The Airline ground staff makes a decision between putting the passengers on hold (for the night) until the weather conditions are restored, or directly transporting the passengers to the originally planned destination (using new flight, bus and/or rail). |
