TAV Technologies implemented its Slot Coordination and Management System (SCMS) in Madinah Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz International Airport, and in 2018, they used the system for the first time to coordinate Hajj and Umrah flights.
The Madinah Airport has a changing flight demand throughout the year as its city is a religious tourism destination for Muslim pilgrims; the flights almost double during the Hajj periods, which presents a challenge for managing airport resources efficiently.
