Use case 03 · Gate Turnaround Time
Every turnaround, measured, not estimated.
Turnaround data usually comes from manual entries made after the fact. A camera at each gate timestamps the key events automatically, so you can see where minutes go — gate by gate, airline by airline.

- Improve. Turnaround times are reported by gate, airline and handler.
