The increasing demand for air travel, the expansion of airline fleets to accommodate a larger number of passengers, and the rising number of flight movements have led to a reduction of the ground time to increase the efficiency of their fleet. Airlines are not only hiring additional employees but are also looking to increase the efficiency of their aircraft fleet by adding new travel routes. Traditional airlines operating medium-haul routes fly 7–14 hours approximately per day. In contrast, LCCs aiming to maximize the aircraft fleet efficiency implement intensive short-haul flight schedules, which sometimes double the flying time as compared to the industry average.
