RESOLUTION 765
CONNECTING TIME INTERVALS — PASSENGER
AND CHECKED BAGGAGE
(amending)
(Note: the wording below completely replaces the current text of the Resolution) RESOLVED that:
1. Members serving the airport(s) of each city shall establish a Local Minimum Connecting Time Group (LMCTG) for purposes of recommending new or changes to minimum intermodal connecting time intervals at such airport(s). The group shall consist of all scheduled airlines and railways serving the airport. The basic objective of agreed connecting time intervals is to protect both the delivering and receiving Member’s interests and ensure that the passenger and his baggage can rely on making connections between airlines and railways serving the airport.
For the purposes of this Resolution,
MINIMUM CONNECTING TIME (MCT) INTERVAL means the shortest time interval required in order to transfer a passenger and his luggage from one flight to a connecting flight, in a specific location or metropolitan area.
Intermodal connections involving a railway service shall be only considered if such railway service has been assigned an airline flight number.
2. At cities served by IATA Members and by Members of the Air Transport Association of America (ATA) who are not IATA Members, such ATA Members shall be invited to participate as voting Members of the LMCTG.
At cities served by IATA Members and by non-IATA scheduled airline(s), such non-IATA airline(s) shall be invited to participate as a voting Member of the Group.
At cities served by railways and airlines, where passengers transfer between each mode of transport, and where intermodal agreements exist between railways and airlines, such railway operators shall be invited to participate as voting Members of the LMCTG. The voting rights of railways shall relate only to action concerning connections between airlines and railways serving the airport or providing connections between the airport and the city location (train station).
3. At cities where an Airport Operators Committee (AOC) [IATA Airport Handling Manual Resolution 020] exists and where no LMCTG exists, such AOC can take on the duties assigned to the LMCTG in this resolution, provided the different stakeholders are duly represented at the AOC as they would in the LMCTG.
While occasionally Airport Authorities can act as facilitators in establishing local MCTs, the tasks described in this resolution are the unique responsibility of the LMCTG.
4. Each LMCTG shall be governed by the following rules:
4.1. the LMCTG shall elect a chairman
4.2. in determining MCT intervals, the Group shall take into consideration the following factors, where applicable:
4.2.1. physical and operating characteristics of the particular airport, e.g. air traffic delays, ramp and baggage sorting area congestion, history of on-time performance, terminals, specific flight origin and/or destination region (such as Schengen countries), customs/immigration ‘pre-clearance’ situations, etc.;
4.2.2. time to unload baggage from delivering carrier’s aircraft or designated railway service and transport to its sorting area;
4.2.3. time to sort and transport baggage to receiving carrier;
4.2.4. time for receiving carrier to assemble, sort, transport and load baggage on its
aircraft or train;
4.2.5. time for all government/airline/railway imposed security measures (where applicable) to be completed as noted in Resolution 744, Attachment ‘B’;
4.2.6. time for passengers (and their baggage when such arrangements exist) to be processed by the receiving carrier;
4.2.7. the times established in 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 shall be published locally by the LMCTG so that carriers and railways are conscious of time constraints for each individual task, and are therefore aware of the time limits which they are expected to meet;
- 4.2.8. in establishing MCTs, members shall be guided by Resolution 744;
- 4.2.9. time for passenger and baggage to clear immigration and customs controls, etc.;
4.2.10. time for passenger to proceed to receiving carrier taking into consideration surface transportation time between terminals and/or airports when applicable;
4.2.11. minimum passenger check-in time for receiving carrier; 4.2.12. time for any other local factor(s).
4.3 after selecting the factors affecting the MCT, using the above as a guide, the Group will allocate a time to each factor and on this basis arrive at the MCT. As far as practicable, MCT intervals should be standardised for all categories of flights with the least possible number of exceptions. MCTs shall be established only in five minute increments, e.g. 30, 35, 40 minutes, etc.
4.4. action of the LMCTG (including election of a Chairman) shall be by simple majority vote of all Group members serving that airport (only one vote permitted per LMCTG member).
10. All communications concerning MCTs, between Members and IATA shall be made through the Member’s designated MCT Coordinator in accordance with the IATA SSIM.
11. This Resolution shall not be applicable at cities served exclusively by ATA Members, even though some of the ATA Members may also be Members of IATA; provided that the necessary co-ordination shall be maintained between ATA and IATA for the publication of MCT intervals established by ATA Members.
