Feature request title:
Expanded “assign to” and “priority assignment”
Description:
Currently you can assign vehicles and staff to terminals, desks to stands etc.
It’d be great if that system was expanded on, such as assigning check in desks to an airline, rather then a baggage bay (which then limits which stands it can use).
Further, it’d be good to be able to assign a “priority” to an airline for stands, desks etc. If any aircraft is running late, and another airlines stand is currently unused and not expected to be used before the priority airline has it booked, then the new arrival can use the other airlines gate.
Even going so far as to have only de-boarding and some services completed before moving to their own gate when it becomes free, to complete their turn around. In which case, the borrowed gate only needs to be free long enough for the delayed aircraft’s expected departure.
A push-back tug could even tow from one gate to the other.
Why it should be implemented:
More realistic and allows for another level of planning and efficiency to the airports.
