Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) normally maintain high levels of aircraft block hours and consequently, they have high levels of aircraft utilization. In fact, aircraft productivity (i.e., aircraft utilization) is a core operational issue for the business model of LCCs.
Having said so, it seems that the airport agents of Air Arabia in Nagpur have strict instructions about speedy boarding of passengers for outbound flights because they did so despite their awareness of the technical snag reported earlier at the touchdown of the very same aircraft at Nagpur Airport.
If airport gate agents will not allow the passengers to board the aircraft before getting the green-light from the cleaning crew, is it less important to board the passengers before receiving the go-ahead from the technical crew?
Will it make sense that speedy boarding of passengers is more important than the technical condition of the aircraft, and accordingly the safety of the passengers?
