Kcfresh2103: You guys rush to type before understanding. The GPU is provided by the airport. It's used to provide power to the aircraft while it's on the ground. it's just like plugging a wire to a device. The one the airport provided was faulty 1 Like |

magzey:The passenger should have just said he didn't know what was wrong with the aircraft. But the passenger specifically said the aircraft was faulty. So, who explained to the passenger that the aircraft was faulty? |

OdafeESNkingsly: I just did This is another from a Regulatory body "Weather that had been forecast to improve can instead deteriorate, or a mechanical problem can turn out to be more complex than initially evaluated. If the problem is with local weather or air traffic control, all flights will probably be late and there's not much you or the airline can do to speed up your departure. If your flight is experiencing a lengthy delay, you might be better off trying to arrange another flight, as long as you don't have to pay a cancellation penalty or higher fare for changing your reservations. (It is sometimes easier to make such arrangements by phone than at a ticket counter.) If you find a flight on another airline, ask the first airline if it will endorse your ticket to the new carrier; this could save you a fare collection. Remember, however, that there is no rule requiring them to do this.... USA department of transport 1 Like

The problem was resolved and fight took off and arrived safe... Mechanical problem are normal and legal in the aviation industry So, the guy has no case at all.. Airpeace can decide to ban him for taking their flights |

Since the aircraft was still on the ground and the issue is with cooling, I think AirPeace is right. Airplane air-conditioning is normally powered in-flight by the engines bleed air system, but while on the ground, this is usually not available. Running a jet engine while on the ground isn't economical and environmentally friendly. Some airports restrict usage of jet engines on the ground due to noise concerns and safety of ground workers. Apart from the giant jet engines, the aircraft's auxiliary power unit (APU) can also power the AC but that is another jet engine that makes a lot of noise and also consumes fuel. The final and most economical option is the ground power unit (GPU) which is an external generator hooked on to the airplane to supply electric power to the AC while it is on the ground. Another type supplies cold air instead of electricity (that is where you see insulated pipes connecting to the plane from the airport). Ground cooling is usually a challenge to airlines operating from regions with hot climates. Not providing cooling on the ground can be a feature of some low-cost budget airlines because it helps to minimise expenses. In this case, once the aircraft engines roars to life, the air-conditioning will surely kick in. It's important to note that in some instances, the bleed air system will not be turned on until the aircraft is at cruising altitude. This usually happens when the aircraft is heavy and about to take off on a hot day. |
