  • TOP DIFFICULT DESTINATIONS
    LHR, HND, SFO, SEA, IAD → highest operational difficulty.
    Mostly long-haul international and busy domestic hubs with complex turnaround ops.
  • MAJOR PATTERNS
    Delays → High Load correlation → dual pressure on teams.
    International routes show higher difficulty (ground time + baggage + SSRs).
    More transfer bags/SSRs → higher operational coordination effort.
  • ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS
    Delays → Add buffer turnaround time, backup crew.
    Load Factor → Strengthen boarding & check-in staff.
    Transfer Bags → Assign extra baggage handlers.
    SSRs → Dedicated staff for assistance services.
    Difficult Destinations → Pre-boarding checks, contingency planning.
