ORAT Support in two separate projects for IATA Consulting

Project 1:

• Operational Readiness assessment study of a new greenfield airport to determine the level of preparedness and identify pitfalls that would prevent a successful opening (starting 2 months prior the opening).
• A detailed FISH-Status and Open-Issue Report of all airport process areas was made as well as a list of key recommendations for the remaining time upon the opening, based on the assessment results.
• Further a Roadmap for the opening strategy, technical & procedures training and trial requirements was submitted to the client
• Spring 2022

Results:

• ON-BLOCK deployed a team of six consultants, dealing with the ORAT Project Management, Technical management of facilities & equipment, systems, processes and contracts and the organization of Trials, in order to fix the immediate gaps in cooperation with the operator company.
• We also successfully involved external stakeholders – especially airlines, ground handling agencies and authorities.
• An extensive programme with walkthroughs, operational exercises, basic and advanced trials was conducted in the last two weeks prior the opening.
