Challenges & Solutions
Challenges
- IROPS (disruption) recovery decisions must happen in minutes
- PSS/DCS systems are mainframe-era with strict integration windows
- Crew legality rules differ by jurisdiction and union contract
- Aircraft turn data arrives from dozens of airport systems
- Passengers expect rebooking + compensation handled instantly
CloudFormation Solves
- Optimization engines on burst compute for recovery scenarios
- Event mesh wrapping legacy PSS with modern async APIs
- Rules-as-code crew legality engine with audit trails
- Turn-management event hub normalizing airport feeds
- Self-service rebooking with entitlement calculation built in
Architecture Patterns
1
Operations Data Hub
ACARS, ADS-B, and airport feeds normalized into an ops event mesh. Single flight-state source of truth. Replayable history for post-ops analysis.
2
IROPS Recovery
Disruption triggers scenario generation on burst compute. Crew + aircraft + passenger constraints solved jointly. Recommended plan pushed to ops controllers.
3
Passenger Experience
Proactive notifications with rebooking options. Entitlements (meals, hotels, compensation) computed per regulation. Vouchers issued digitally.
4
MRO & Reliability
Sensor and pilot-report data feeds reliability analytics. Predictive maintenance windows scheduled against rotations. Parts logistics integrated.
