I have a flight from A via B to C. I have no traffic right to pick up any pax from B to C.
However, it appears that the turnaround in B still includes pax boarding time which seems weird to me as I have no traffic right.
Normally this wouldn't bother me but with this particular flight the pax boarding time happens to eat away my ground time (by just 1 minute) so that maintenance is impossible.
Is there any explanation to it? Or should I just speed up the B to C segment to retain my planned ground maintenance window?
refueling with pax onboard is subject to many safety precautions and regulations. at some airports, it is even forbidden in general. at others, extra charges for services such as fire trucks standing by may apply. since the variety of this can not be simulated at this time (and most-likely ever), having pax disembark for refueling sounds reasonable.
of course, there are other options to get around this issue, the simulation as is can not depict those.

Sure this makes a lot of sense IRL and even in game if its by design.
I guess it just bugs me because on my other via flights pax (re)boarding could begin at the same time as cargo loading so I just couldn't understand why this isn't true across the board.
FWIW I've never been asked to deplane during refuelling IRL, usually just remain seated with seatbelt unfastened and phones off.
The airport in question in my original post is VIE, whilst the airport in the attachment is HKG in case anyone's curious.
