Quantifying the $44B Execution Gap
The aviation industry has an execution problem. Across Europe and North America, aircraft turnarounds consistently run more than 11 minutes over schedule.
These delays are not acts of God. Rather, they are controllable delays on the apron that compound over the day of operations, costing tens of billions in lost margin and removing critical stand capacity.
Drawing on data from over 2 million turnarounds, Assaia's 2026 Turnaround Report provides concrete evidence that real-time computer vision and AI monitoring can reduce turnaround delays.
Inside Assaia's 2026 Turnaround Report:
- The Crisis: Why the aircraft turnaround is the single most effective leverage point to reclaim control of the apron and protect scheduling integrity.
- The Impact: How the $44B execution gap drains profits and reduces stand capacity.
- The Perfect Turnaround: Analysis of 750,000+ turnarounds revealing when minor delays occur and how they accumulate into severe departure delays.
- The Benchmark: Data-led comparison of 125,000 AI-monitored turnarounds against 1.5 million conventional turnarounds across Europe and North America
Stop Managing Delays in Hindsight
Understanding ground performance requires more than knowing when a delay occurred - it requires knowing why it happened while the turnaround is ongoing.
Assaia's 2026 Turnaround Report provides aviation leaders with crucial context into where these valuable minutes on the apron are being lost every day. It delivers an actionable benchmark to evaluate your own ground operations against global industry standards. Providing you and your team with the insights needed to identify hidden efficiency leaks, improve cross-team coordination, and improve operational performance on the apron.
