confirming that the problem cannot be identified by us of any of the<BR>codes in the above list, then a summary of the problem MUST be included<BR>in the SI (Supplementary Information) element of any despatched message<BR>Commonly Used Airline Delay & Diversion Codes<BR>Page 4 of 4 Updated: 04 October 2004<BR>Notes and Disclaimers:<BR>a) Although this document conforms to the delay and diversion codes (with minor expansion, or<BR>spelling changes to the descriptions) approved by the Airport Handling Committee for publication<BR>in January 1999, THIS IS NOT an Official IATA Document.<BR>The only official list is that contained in the current Airport Handling Manual, or other IATA/<BR>Documentation containing recommendation AHM 730<BR>b) This document as posted on www.cue-dih.co.uk may not therefore conform to the latest AHM 730<BR>and should only be used for illustrative purposes<BR>c) Although Alphabetic versions of the Code scheme remain valid, NUMERIC CODES have been<BR>adopted as the PRIMARY CODE SCHEME and gradually the Alphabetical scheme will be of<BR>historical interest only.<BR>d) IATA recognise that as some codes provide an umbrella description of the problem, it is<BR>recommended that SI (Supplementary Information) element of messages is used to clarify code<BR>ambiguities <BR>e) Although IATA members can submit requests for changes or, additions to the AHM 730 Code List<BR>for consideration at anytime. IATA policy is once a changed list is published there will be a<BR>minimum of three years before another update is promulgated (at time of writing no change has<BR>been made in 5 years). Following publication of a change my experience is that many airlines may<BR>not adopt the change immediately and others may, after review continue using a previous version of<BR>the recommendation<BR>f) Although outside of the USA almost all Airlines base their Delay and Diversion codes on AHM 730<BR>there are variations that apply to individual Airlines, either as in the case of this document minor<BR>changes in the descriptive text (to assist staff to more easily identify the code to be used), or more<BR>radical departures from the definition of a code. Other Airlines have their own codes within the<BR>recommendations categories where there is currently available space in that categories sequence<BR>e.g. applying a numeric code 60 for Crew being required to change Aircraft.<BR>IATA is concerned about these variations and general non-conformance and the following<BR>statement is part of the introduction to AHM 730:<BR>The standardisation of codes used for this purpose is essential for commonality in EDP systems,<BR>uniform agency handling, exchange of information, statistical comparison and management<BR>analysis.<BR>There are already cases where Carriers have defined for their own purposes, unused numeric codes<BR>which are then defined with a completely different meaning in the next issue of the<BR>recommendation. As all their computer systems and training now uses the non-standard code, they<BR>continue to use their now non conforming Code List, to the confusion of Handling Agencies<BR>everywhere.<BR>g) Some airlines internally use alpha suffixes to AHM 730 codes, post operation. This is because they<BR>find some codes too general in describing a problem and once the investigation is complete they<BR>want to refine the cause for reporting and statistical purposes. The use of such suffixes against<BR>AHM 730 Codes is unique to the individual Carrier concerned and even companies contracted to<BR>perform Ground Handling are not made aware of these suffixes.<BR>h) In the USA many carriers have evolved Code Schemes and definitions which are so different from<BR>the IATA recommendations that even correlation of their coding scheme with AHM 730 is difficult.<BR>In addition some US Carriers have different coding schemes for Delay and Diversion<BR>i) One coding scheme that IATA has published a correlation table for is the Codes used by<BR>Eurocontrol Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU) and this now forms part of AHM 730<BR>EOE<BR>Postscript<BR>This is the third time I have prepared a list which conforms to the IATA Recommendation AHM 730 for Codes for<BR>use in Messages where reasons for Delay, or Diversion are required.<BR>The first time in the late 1980’s was specifically as part of the material for giving a course. The second combined<BR>the course usage with a means of providing a Plastic Covered Quick Reference for Ramp Dispatch and Control<BR>Centres for the Airline I was then consulting for. Amazingly copies of this version still surface from time to time<BR>(14 Years later)! The reason for doing this yet again was primarily to provide a Quick Reference for the people I<BR>work with to check off against customer implementation and variations on AHM 730 prior to pre-delivery database<BR>build.<BR>Douglas Holland 04th October 2004
