Airline-Specific Solutions Help Flight Crews Navigate Turbulent Times
In early October, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced updated standards for mandatory rest time for flight attendants. Rather than a 9-hour rest, flight attendants are required to have ten consecutive hours of rest to ensure that they are refreshed and able to perform their jobs to the best of their ability, which ultimately keeps everyone safe.
From pilot and other labor shortages to ups and downs in airline traffic, global airline crews need a place to rest and recharge. There are technical solutions dedicated to getting an airline crew to a place to recharge quickly.
Airlines can turn to TA Connections. Our solutions provide some calm during the proverbial storm. We are dedicated to helping improve the in-flight global crew experience, regardless of the challenges faced.
Airline travel is up and so are related challenges
Between taking care of passengers and ensuring all industry and safety regulations are met, crews have a lot on their shoulders. TA Connections offers solutions to help, including:
Transportation and lodging. Tapping our network of thousands of pre-negotiated hotels, we make it simple for flight crews to book and re-book accommodations as well as rental cars depending on layover schedules and needs. If a flight is cancelled or delayed, or if a flight attendant needs accommodations for their 10-hour rest break, TA Connections helps crews and passengers alike find a place to stay and transportation to get there – all through an easy-to-use, intuitive platform.
Process automation. We’re dedicated to supporting crews by making their duties easier and freeing them up to do what they do best – support passengers. For example, our TA Ramp solution streamlines ramp operations and gives better visibility to baggage location and status. TA Airport transforms airline footprints in airports, making them mobilized and digitized to meet passengers’ needs, and our TA Turn solution simplifies the turnaround time process for flight crews between flights. Each of these solutions increase efficiency and support flight crew success.
24/7/365 support. When crews need extra help or have questions regarding their TA tools and resources, our support team is at the ready at any time.
