The picture at Eindhoven
From a trial-sized installation to everyday stand coverage
Computer vision on the apron aims to tell the ground team what has happened and what may still hold an aircraft up. At Eindhoven, the evidence shows a phased installation rather than a one-off demonstration.
The airport said Deep Turnaround began at four stands in November 2023. Schiphol's Aviation Solutions unit reported expansion to all 14 stands in summer 2024, making this a useful case for evaluating operational adoption.
Full stand coverage is an important implementation fact. It does not establish that delay minutes, staffing or turnaround costs improved.

The operational problem
Ground events may be recorded inconsistently, leaving controllers and handlers without an early warning of a late turn.
What the sources report
Eindhoven Airport announced Deep Turnaround at four aircraft stands in November 2023. Schiphol Aviation Solutions said it had reached all 14 by summer 2024.
Why it matters
An airport-wide stand installation creates the possibility of comparing operations consistently across the apron rather than at a few demonstration stands.
What remains unprovenThe full-coverage claim is published by the provider and no airport-verified reduction in delay minutes is established.

The wider register
What else is happening at Eindhoven?
The current register holds this principal Deep Turnaround programme. Future reports on individual camera functions should extend the same implementation record.
No additional publicly listed deployment records.
Coverage is established; impact remains the question
The most meaningful feature of Eindhoven's case is the documented step from a limited deployment to reported full coverage.
Now the useful measure is whether the information changed handling decisions and the outcome of aircraft turns.
