Penalty Box (Hold Bay)

When an inbound flight’s gate is unavailable because the departing flight at the assigned gate is delayed (which never happens), a Penalty Box could be designated as a Zone using tarmac and taxi routing. The inbound could automatically route there and wait until the alley and gate were clear, keeping taxiways clear for other traffic.

It could have an alternative use as overnight parking for commercial and/or GA without occupying a gate/stand.

Yes please!

These transitory stands are located on every larger airport so I expect the devs to know this :slight_smile: Still I support this as that is extremely important IMO.

I guess while at this there could be aircrafts that are delayed and need to shut down somewhere etc to add some complexity

Being able to do this or having separate holding stand assets would be very useful for managing delays.
