Turnaround Benchmark Report 2025

The aircraft turnaround has always been the most complex part of airside operations. Our third annual Turnaround Report analyzes over 450,000 turns, revealing how better-managed turnarounds can help the industry meet its biggest challenges.

Even in a high-demand environment, our data shows clear improvements in turnaround efficiency. Let's look at the wins from the last 12 months:

• A 5% increase in turns per stand, freeing up capacity without new infrastructure.
• A 25% reduction in median departure delays, improving punctuality.
• Earlier deboarding and baggage loading, enhancing the passenger experience.

These operational wins create strategic advantages. The efficiencies gained last year alone could be worth tens of millions of dollars annually to individual airports and airlines.

Why Turnaround Optimization Matters Now

Passenger demand is projected to more than double by 2042. At the same time, aircraft deliveries are uncertain and airport expansion is constrained. Optimizing the turnaround is no longer optional—it's where meaningful gains are still possible.
