Dear colleagues:

We are pleased to present the new edition of the Delay Codes Booklet concern-
ing the delaying flights. Each of the delay code (SUB-CODE) has been added and
some important amendments and improvements have been added to suit with
the causes of delays.

Since this booklet is to improve the station operational performance, and other
supporting departments, allowing all sectors to identify the real causes, opera-
tional constraints and shortfalls that delayed flights accordingly and enable con-
cerned departments in each sector to take an active role in follow-up, and to
develop corrective measures and appropriate solutions to avoid flight delays.

There is no doubt that the concerted efforts between all sectors and departments
and the positive and correct application of these codes in proportion to the causes
of delay will have an effective impact in improving the operational performance
of the flight departure discipline and providing better services to SV guest.
