Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA) has selected Veovo, in partnership with OneAlpha, to implement a new slot coordination system. The platform aims to enhance management of constrained capacity across runways, aprons, and terminals, providing a unified view of demand and capacity for better scheduling decisions and airline alignment.
The system evaluates slot requests on a daily basis, testing them against runway, apron, and terminal limits. This holistic assessment identifies true constraints beyond runway availability alone. Upon reaching capacity thresholds, coordinators receive immediate alerts, allowing them to approve overages or suggest alternative timings, enabling proactive intervention to prevent operational congestion.
Airlines access a self-service portal to submit and track requests, increasing transparency and minimizing manual processes. All transactions adhere to IATA Worldwide Airport Slot Guidelines, maintaining a clear audit trail for airports and carriers.
Scenario planning features enable SEA to simulate changes in terminal assignments, stand configurations, or runway availability using live seasonal data. Real-time utilization reports and heatmaps offer insights into impacts from growth, seasonal demand, or infrastructure adjustments, supporting efficient use of existing facilities.
“We are pleased to work with SEA to support coordination and decision-making that reflects how airports actually operate,” said James Williamson, CEO of Veovo. “The focus is on delivering integrated airport environments that support a more resilient and holistic approach to managing constrained capacity.”
