Hi there,
c
Can someone explain how the thing with the delay codes is working? I know that there are IATA delay codes and some that are specific to an airline. But first of all: WHEN do you have a delay? Does it always count from STD even if it arrived late but you put the minutes on rotation?
For example (I picked a random flight right now):
6B171 from GOT to SPU - STD 17:15 / ATD 17:38
So we have a delay with 23 minutes here (compared to STD). We have to options now:
a) the aircraft arrived in GOT on time
b) the aircraft arrived in GOT late (lets say 5 minutes late)
a) I would say you as a ground handling agent have to justify the 23 minutes. What do you do? Do you talk to captain and ask if there is anything you can put some minutes on? Maybe even if you know you were just slow?
b) How does the delay code work with the 5 minutes late arrival? What do you have to do as a GOA? Do you put 5 minutes on 93 and then you have to justify the other 18 minutes?
I am still new at this and hope you can help me out
