Flight Schedule Modification

Editing Flight Schedule Parameters

If you need to modify the schedule in a way that affects several schedule periods, then use the SKD parameter to do that. Schedule modification will be valid within the period defined by the SKD parameter value.

If the flight has been delayed with day change, then a route of this flight cannot be changed. If any attempts to do that, a restriction notification will be presented.

To change flight schedule parameters: 1. Select Schedule → Flights in the menu. The flight schedule search form will be presented. 2. Specify searching parameters and proceed to the list of flights. 3. Click the right mouse button on a row containing description of the flight whose schedule will be changed. Select Update in the context menu. The schedule modification form will be presented.

4. Edit the schedule parameters. Mandatory fields are marked with green color. 5. In some cases, it is required to make an adjustment in a schedule. The adjustment affects several schedule periods at the same time. The SKD - Adjustment period parameter is used for this purpose. Schedule modifications are applied for the period which covers the value of the SKD parameter. 6. Press the Preview button and perform the preview operations. In the preview window, press the “+” button. The form containing the schedule before (Current period) and after the changes (New period) will be displayed, and the changes made to the schedule will be highlighted yellow.

7. Press Save button. The changes made to the schedule will be saved and displayed in the list of flight schedule periods.

If the parameters managed by business rules are edited, then after saving the changes, new business rules with the highest weight which are active for the edited flight or period will be created.

Creating an ADHOC-period

It is possible to create an Adhoc period for the already departed flight no more than 24 hours after the flight's departure. In this case a transfer plan is created, which must be confirmed manually. For more information see the Passenger Re-accommodation section.

To create Ad-hoc period:

1. Select Schedule → Flights in the menu. The flight schedule search form will be presented. 2. Specify searching parameters and proceed to the list of flights. 3. Click the right mouse button the flight period for which Ad-hoc period is being created. Select Ad-hoc period and then select Create Adhoс from the list. The Ad-hoc period creation form will be presented.

If Ad-hoc period is selected from basic period, select the flight period from which the Ad-hoc period should be selected. Select Create Adhoc as described above. If the Ad-hoc period, which is being created, is independent, then selection of a particular period is not mandatory.

4. Correct a flight schedule and period. 5. Proceed to the preview form and save the changes. The created Ad-hoc period will be displayed in the list of the flight periods:

The Ad-hoc period initially selected from basic period may become independent afterwards if the period of the basic schedule which contains the Ad-hoc period will be cancelled.
