Flight Delay
Flight delay is a change of the departure time of the flight in the interval of 24 hours before or after the appointed departure time of the flight.
 |
In case of an attempt to delay a flight more than 24 hours before or after the flight's time of departure an error message will be displayed. |
Flight delay may be applied for a period not exceeding one week. Due to this operation, Ad-hoc period with specified departure time is formed for a specified date of a flight schedule. A flight may be delayed in any origin point of a route and in this case, a scheduled departure date is a date of departure from the first route point.
A flight may be delayed several times within 7 days after scheduled departure time.
The following types of flight delay are presented in the System:
- Delay within a day. Change of flight departure time in any or all origin points of a route without changing a departure date. When using this type of delay, change of a flight number is not carried out.
- Delay with day. Change of a departure date in all or some origin points of a route, regarding the first date of flight operation in an origin point, from which a flight is being delayed. When using this type of delay, additional suffix is assigned to a flight number automatically.
A flight may be delayed more than once. The condition under which there should be less than 24 hours before departure of this flight is not considered.
 |
Route of a flight which has been delayed with day change cannot be modified. |
The Delay within a day type activates the following processes:
- Creation of Ad-hoc period
- Sending ASM-TIM message to external systems
- Change of time in PNR
- Adding PNR to agent queue.
The Delay with day type activates the following processes:
- Creation of Ad-hoc period
- Assignment of suffix to a flight number
- Cancellation of a date of original flight period
- Sending SSM message or ASM-CNL message to external systems for a date of cancellation
- Sending ASM-NEW message to external systems
- Re-accommodation of passengers on another flight which suffix in number
- Adding PNR to agent queue.

Information about PNR is presented in the "Passenger name record management". |

Suffixes assigned to delayed flights are not available for editing in manual mode. |
