Every minute matters in aviation. The turnaround — the process between a flight's arrival and departure — involves dozens of critical tasks: refueling, cleaning, baggage loading, and boarding.
Long description:
Today, most of these operations rely on fragmented systems and manual reports, making coordination complex and performance hard to verify. This challenge invites participants to design a blockchain-powered digital checklist that records every operational step of an aircraft turnaround as an immutable transaction on Camino Network. The goal: real-time traceability, transparent coordination, and verifiable compliance across all ground operations.
Participants will build a decentralized application (dApp) that uses smart contracts to record task completions, generate automated turnaround certifications, and offer full on-chain visibility to all stakeholders. The result — faster coordination, fewer delays, and a new level of trust in airline operations.
More details:
The turnaround process involves multiple specialized teams (ground crew, fueling, catering, cleaning, baggage handlers, maintenance) working in parallel with tight time constraints. Each task has dependencies and SLA requirements, but current coordination relies on radio communication, paper checklists, and manual status updates.
This challenge proposes using blockchain to create a single source of truth where each team logs task completion as an immutable transaction. Smart contracts can automatically verify that prerequisite tasks are completed before dependent tasks begin, flag SLA violations in real-time, and generate compliance reports without manual reconciliation.
The focus should be on how blockchain improves transparency across all stakeholders (airline operations, ground service providers, airport authorities), enables automated dispute resolution when delays occur, and provides auditable proof of service delivery for contractual and regulatory compliance.

Supplier payments in aviation are slow, complex, and full of manual steps. From fuel providers to ground handling, processing invoices can take days — locking up liquidity and creating costly administrative delays.
