Many airline passengers can tell a personal story about a disruption and the travel plans have been affected. With the growth in travel and more airport congestions around the world, disruptions occur regularly.

Nevertheless, passengers are not fully aware about the various complex activities the airline is orchestrating "behind the scenes", because many airline departments and airline colleagues are involved if a disruption occurs.
