Crew
Crew labour and transport costs are one of the highest direct operating costs for an airline. Labour intensity will depend on service requirements, fleet operating regulations, and statutory guidelines and this makes the accurate estimation of future costs very difficult.
Last minute operational changes can affect costs quite dramatically, adding more than 20% to the baseline cost without realization by the financial managers.
airpas integrates with the airline’s operational systems to easily and automatically re-calculate crew costs following operational changes, and provides immediate analysis of their impact, taking into account items such as:
- Crew numbers
- Fleet mix changes
- Delays
- Number of hotel nights
- Crew re-positioning requirements
Hotel and transport suppliers contracts can be used as the basis for cost calculations and are held electronically within the airpas system in order to automate and streamline the procurement process and to improve the accuracy of cost calculations.
Electronic invoices (EDI) can be automatically received into the system directly from suppliers, streamlining the invoice checking process and highlighting errors quickly and easily. This allows the invoice checkers to concentrate on recovering overcharges from suppliers instead of having a focus on data input.
airpas will streamline and automate your processes, calculate costs more accurately, automatically react to operational changes, and will give you improved control of your costs and route profitability.
