One device includes a memory, and a processor to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive information associated with arriving and departing flights at an airport, determine, using the received information, whether a conflict exists at a parking stand of the airport assigned to an aircraft, generate, using the received information, an airfield parking stand analysis, including a time chart for the parking stand and a list of different parking stands to assign to the aircraft in response to a conflict existing at the parking stand, and a user interface to display the airfield parking stand analysis in a single integrated display. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computing device for aircraft stand management, comprising: a memory; a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to: receive information associated with arriving and departing flights at an airport; determine, using the received information, whether a conflict exists at a parking stand of the airport assigned to an aircraft; generate, using the received information, an airfield parking stand analysis, including: a time chart for the parking stand; and a prioritized list of different parking stands to assign to the aircraft in response to a conflict existing at the parking stand, wherein the list is prioritized according to airline attributes including terminals specific to particular airlines; and a user interface configured to display the airfield parking stand analysis in a single integrated display. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to assign the aircraft to one of the different parking stands in response to the conflict existing at the parking stand. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The computing device of claim 2, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to re-assign a different aircraft assigned to the different one of the parking stands to the parking stand. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the time chart for the parking stand includes: an estimated in block time of the aircraft at the parking stand; and an estimated off block time of the aircraft from the parking stand. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the list of different parking stands is prioritized according to at least one of: parking stand attributes; passenger attributes; reallocation impact attributes; and aircraft scheduling attributes. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to generate a map of the airport showing the parking stand, a status of the parking stand, the different parking stands, and the aircraft at the airport. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computing device of claim 1, wherein a conflict exists at the parking stand when an in block time of the aircraft assigned to the parking stand and an in block time of a different aircraft assigned to the parking stand overlap. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to: receive information associated with arriving and departing flights at an airport; determine, using the received information, whether a conflict exists at a parking stand of the airport assigned to an aircraft; generate, using the received information, an airfield parking stand analysis, including: a time chart for the parking stand; a prioritized list of different parking stands to assign to the aircraft in response to a conflict existing at the parking stand, wherein the list is prioritized according to airline attributes including terminals specific to particular airlines; an assignment penalty analysis for the parking stand; and an assignment security impact analysis for the parking stand; assign, based on the airfield parking stand analysis, the aircraft to one of the different parking stands in response to the conflict existing at the parking stand; and display the airfield parking stand analysis in a single integrated display. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein the assignment penalty analysis for the parking stand includes details of the different parking stands. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the assignment penalty analysis for the parking stand includes penalties associated with the details of the different parking stands. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the computer readable instructions are executable by the processor to revise the penalties in response to a change in one of the details of the different parking stands. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein the assignment security impact analysis for the parking stand includes security checkpoint details for the airport. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein the assignment security impact analysis for the parking stand includes a passenger flow indicator for the airport. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein the assignment security impact analysis for the parking stand includes video of a security checkpoint of the airport. ### Claim 15 (depends on 8) The computer readable medium of claim 8, wherein the assignment security impact analysis for the parking stand includes messaging options for the airport. ### Claim 16 A computer implemented method for aircraft stand management, comprising: determining, by a computing device using information associated with arriving and departing flights at an airport, whether a conflict exists at a parking stand of the airport assigned to an aircraft; generating, by the computing device using the received information, an airfield parking stand analysis, including: a time chart for the parking stand; a prioritized list of different parking stands to assign to the aircraft in response to a conflict existing at the parking stand, wherein the list is prioritized according to airline attributes including terminals specific to particular airlines; an assignment penalty analysis for the parking stand; an assignment security impact analysis for the parking stand; and a map of the airport showing the parking stand, the different parking stands, and the aircraft at the airport; assigning, by the computing device based on the airfield parking stand analysis, the aircraft to one of the different parking stands in response to the conflict existing at the parking stand; and displaying, on a user interface of the computing device, the airfield parking stand analysis in a single integrated display. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the method includes generating and displaying, on the user interface, an alert in response to the conflict existing at the parking stand. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein generating the airfield parking stand analysis includes compiling training data using classifiers. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein generating the airfield parking stand analysis includes generating what-if models using the information associated with arriving and departing flights at the airport and machine learning. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the method includes generating the list of different parking stands using classifiers and what-if models.
