Abstract

The invention relates to a passenger communications system, and specifically to a method and apparatus for managing an aircraft departure. The method comprises following steps of: identifying locations (228) of passengers (202) for a flight (206) of an aircraft at an airport (102) through boarding applications (222) on client devices (216) for the passengers (202). Further, the method comprises following steps of: displaying location information (232) about the passengers (202) on a display system (230), wherein the location information (232) is based on the locations (228) of the passengers (202) at the airport (102). Yet further, the method comprises following steps of: sending notifications (236), initiated by a boarding crew (212) for the flight (206), to a group of the boarding applications (222) on the client devices (216).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to improved communication systems, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for communicating with passengers. And more particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for exchanging communications between boarding flight attendants and passengers at an airport. Background technique [0002] In operating flights, airlines are concerned with reducing the delays that occur in reducing the amount of time spent on the ground phase of a flight. Operational delays attributable to an airline, which increase the time of the ground phase of the aircraft's operations, may result in an airport charge being imposed on that airline. [0003] If the delay is too long, the airline's allotted takeoff slot may be lost. A departure slot is a right granted by an airport to schedule departures at a specific time. If the delay in boarding the plane to depart from the gate is too long, then the time sl...
