2. Why manifest has to be prepared before leaving the airport? Enumerate the
Importance.
Before departing the airport, you should prepare a manifest for a number of reasons, but safety,
security, and operational effectiveness are the most important ones. Here are the main benefits of
having a manifest prepared before leaving:
•
Accountability of Passengers: A precise and comprehensive list of every passenger on the
flight is provided by the manifest. It is crucial for authorities and airline staff to swiftly identify
everyone on board in the case of an emergency or other issue in order to ensure their safety
and welfare.
•
Search and Rescue: A manifest helps search and rescue efforts in the event of an
emergency by providing crucial information about the quantity and names of passengers and
crew aboard the flight.
•
Contact Information: Passenger contact information is often included in the manifest. This
information is crucial for alerting loved ones, friends, or coworkers in case of emergencies,
delays, or other unanticipated circumstances while traveling.
•
Compliance with Customs and Immigration: Airlines are expected to give customs and
immigration authorities accurate passenger information. A smooth immigration and customs
process is made possible at both departure and arrival points thanks to the manifest, which
also helps with following legal and regulatory obligations.
•
Implementing security measures is made easier by the manifest, which enables officials to
check passenger information against security databases or watchlists. This assists in
locating any persons that warrant worry before the airplane takes off.
3. What do you think is more efficient in boarding the passengers, gate boarding or remote
bay boarding? Explain.
Since passengers can use a jet bridge to board straight from the gate area, gate
boarding is frequently more effective. It's a quick and efficient operation that is especially useful
for people with restricted mobility or who are traveling light. Additionally, it shields passengers
from bad weather while they are boarding, guaranteeing a comfortable and easy journey.
