Use Case | Unplanned ATC Ground Delay Program Causes Cascading Effects
On a high-traffic weekday, an unexpected ATC staffing shortage at a major enroute center (e.g., ZNY or ZTL) triggers flow restrictions across a large section of the airline’s network. The FAA issues multiple GDPs and miles-in-trail restrictions, forcing the OCC to slow eastbound operations and make real-time adjustments to crew and tail flows. The disruption persists into the early evening, delaying dozens of aircraft and creating pockets of misaligned resources and missed connections.
The next day, OCC leaders and the analytics team leverage the Hangar module to perform a deep post-ops review. They want to assess how resilient the network was under this constraint, where their recovery plan held or failed, and how similar scenarios can be managed more effectively in the future.
This allows the OCC to understand network pressure, recovery velocity, and systemic learning opportunities at a network, airport, and flight level.
