Turnaround monitoring trialled at Tel Aviv
The operational problem
A turnaround task that overruns, such as a late fuel tanker, is often noticed only when the departure slips.
What the evidence reports
Udi Segall, IntellAct's founder and chief executive, told the Times of Israel in March 2025 that EL AL had run a successful pilot of the system at TLV. Neurohive reported in February 2022 that the system uses existing cameras to detect delays in tasks such as cleaning, refuelling and baggage handling, alerts staff and proposes a mitigation plan; its example was boarding passengers while an aircraft refuels, with a fire engine standing by. It said EL AL's preliminary tests showed a 15% reduction in flight delays.
Operational significance
Using cameras already in place keeps the cost of entry low, and the system suggests what to do as well as flagging the problem.
All accounts of the pilot come from IntellAct or reports based on it. EL AL has not described the pilot, confirmed the 15% figure or said whether the system is in use today.
