Aviation
For the teams who keep aircraft moving.
Flight crew have their own limits and systems. Ground handling, ramp, engineering and airport operations teams work early, late and night shifts too.
Where it goes wrong
- Late shifts followed by the first wave of early departures
- Night shifts for engineering and cargo teams
- Extra shifts in the summer peak
- Teams rostered by different managers or contractors
How RosterWise helps
- Check rosters for ground handling, ramp, engineering, cargo and terminal teams
- See short gaps between lates and earlies, night work and long runs of shifts
- Use the same checks across every team
- Keep a record of what you decided
An example
A shift RosterWise would flag
Review
Ramp agent R-31, Friday into Saturday. A late shift ends at 23:00 and the next shift starts at 05:00 for the morning departures. That leaves 6 hours between shifts, and the start is before 6am.

What RosterWise doesn’t check. RosterWise doesn’t check flight time limitations or crew rosters. It is for ground and support teams, who come under the general working-time rules.
