Identification and Analysis of Flight Delay Based on Process Relevance

Abstract

Flight delay identification is an important way to coordinate the operation time of airport ground service providers and improve the efficiency of airport operations. By analyzing the flight turnaround operation process, considering the randomness and synchronization of the turnaround process, and using Colored Petri Nets and Python (4.0.1), we explore the correlation between various links in the flight turnaround process and the take-off delay at the next station. This paper is committed to improving the service performance of airports and airlines, dynamically predicting flight delays, and providing guidance for avoiding excessive time in the actual operation of bad combinations. The results show that there are six kinds of bad combinations in the departure slip-out link, which is the most likely to affect the transit time. The maximum lifting degree in the bad combination is 2.043, and the maximum average delay time in the bad combination is 22.5 min. When the combination of passenger boarding and departure slip-out time is too long, it has a great positive correlation with delay. When the other links are in a state of being able to pass the station on time, the departure time and baggage loading and unloading are the two links that most affect the flight delay value.
