Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the supervision of Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) by the Apron Movement Control (AMC) unit at Adi Soemarmo Surakarta Airport in 2019, focusing on the role of AMC in improving discipline at the airport’s apron. The study also identifies violations that occurred on the airside and assesses the effectiveness of AMC’s supervision.

Research Methodology: A descriptive qualitative approach was used, incorporating interviews, observations, and questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using the Fishbone diagram method, with a focus on identifying root causes of issues related to airside violations and AMC’s role in enhancing discipline.

Results: The study found that there were 44 violations recorded on the airside in 2019, with the most common violation being driving over 25 km/h on service roads. The role of AMC in improving discipline was influenced by factors such as manpower, machinery, and motivation. Despite effective supervision in some areas, the study highlighted the need for improved communication and better facilities, such as the installation of CCTV for better monitoring.

Conclusions: The supervision carried out by the AMC unit was not optimal, primarily due to limited visibility and inadequate resources. The study emphasizes the importance of enhancing AMC’s surveillance capabilities and coordination with other stakeholders. The training and motivation of AMC officers also need improvement to ensure more effective supervision.

Limitations: The study was constrained by the lack of advanced surveillance technology, such as CCTV coverage for all parking stands, and the varying levels of performance and communication among AMC officers. Future studies could explore the impact of technological enhancements and more structured training programs for AMC personnel.

Contributions: This research provides insights into the role of AMC in airport supervision, highlighting the critical factors affecting its effectiveness and offering recommendations for improving operational efficiency. The findings contribute to the development of more efficient operational strategies for managing apron discipline at Indonesian airports.
