Presentation of
the TITAN
project for the
stakeholders
The TITAN project
The TITAN project focuses on the turnaround and will produce an
advanced operational concept embracing all the processes involved while
being fully compatible with, and complementary to, the SESAR Concept
of Operations.
TITAN will develop a decision support tool for the airspace users
enabling them to make full use of the new turnaround concept. This tool
will provide data to other airport partners too (ATC, ground handling,
airport operator), improving their decision making also.

Main objectives of the TITAN project
Goal: to develop a new advanced operational concept for the turnaround
process fully compatible and complementary with the SESAR ConOps
as well as a specific tool for the Airlines.
Main Objectives:
• Enhance efficiency of aircraft operator operations;
• Reduce operational cost during the turnaround process;
• Ensure punctual turnaround on the apron and thus a higher level of
passenger service;
• Optimise the use of all resources for all involved partners;
• Increase ATFM and airport slot adherence;
• Improve punctuality (on time performance) and reduce delays.

The TITAN concept
The aim is to develop a TITAN concept in a performance driven manner
where the real benefits that stakeholders will obtain from its
implementation will be proved.
Problem
After the analysis of the current
situation and the collection of the
stakeholders’ needs, the concept shall
be validated by means of a model,
which afterwards shall be implemented
in
a
decision
support
tool,
complemented with the analysis of how
this concept could be integrated in the
Air Transport System.

Innovations proposed by TITAN 1/2
The main innovations proposed by the TITAN project:
• Perform a thorough analysis of the aircraft “ground-sector”.
• Establish the key monitoring points to assess ground process
performance.
• Follow a performance-based approach in line with SESAR.
• Make a proposal for turnaround integration with the BT and for
negotiation.
• Develop a tool to support the decision making and monitoring
processes related to the turnaround phase
