Key Performance Indicators (KPI's)

Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) provide quantifiable metrics that help management make data-driven decisions to enhance performance and customer satisfaction.  They are crucial for assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of airport operations.

Categories of KPI's in Airport Operations

Airport operations KPI’s can be categorized into several areas including operational efficiency, passenger experience, and safety and security. Each category focuses on specific aspects of airport management and operations. 

Utilization of KPI's for Continuous Improvement

The use of KPI’s in airport operations is not just about measuring current performance but also about leveraging this data for continuous improvement: 

Data-Driven Decision Making

Airport managers can utilize KPI data to identify operational inefficiencies and allocate resources more effectively. By analyzing trends, they can predict future challenges and opportunities, optimizing airport performance.

Benchmarking and Goal Setting

KPI’s are essential tools for airports to set performance benchmarks and goals across departments and operations. Regularly reviewing these goals drives continuous improvements and achieves higher operational standards.

 

Quality Assurance

Continuous monitoring of KPI’s ensures adherence to safety, security, and operational quality standards. This proactive approach helps maintain high service levels and implement corrective actions promptly.

Reporting and Visualization

Effective reporting and visualization of KPI’s are key to understanding and communicating the performance metrics across the organization:

Interactive Dashboard
Implementing interactive dashboards that provide real-time access to KPI’s enables stakeholders to make informed decisions quickly. These dashboards can be customized to show the most relevant data to different users, from operational staff to executive management and in the case of environmental data to (local) government officials. 

 Regular Reporting Cycles

Establishing regular reporting cycles for reviewing KPI’s ensures that all stakeholders are kept informed about the airport’s performance. These reports can highlight successes, identify areas needing improvement, and track progress towards strategic objectives. 

Visualization Tools
Using graphs, heat maps, and other visualization tools helps to depict complex data in an easy-to-understand format. Visualization aids in spotting patterns, trends, and anomalies, facilitating quicker analysis and response.

Turnaround Compliance

Measures the accuracy of turnaround times against scheduled times.

EIBT and ELDT Predictability

Tracks the predictability of Estimated In-Block Time (EIBT) and Estimated Landing Time (ELDT).

TOBT and TSAT Accuracy

Monitors the accuracy and predictability of Target Off-Block Time (TOBT) and Target Start-Up Approval Time (TSAT).

READY Reaction Time

Measures the responsiveness to the READY status indicator, which signals when an aircraft is prepared for departure.

Average Delay of Arrival Flights:

Captures metrics related to the average delays faced by arriving flights.

Overall Operational Efficiency

A composite metric that considers multiple aspects of airport operations to assess overall efficiency.
