SSM EQT

SSM EQT sub-types are processed by the system to change or update the aircraft type or aircraft type details. Aircraft type changes can be applied to one or more dates of an existing schedule period. Upon processing of the SSM EQT sub-type, the capacity values of the new aircraft type are automatically populated, and the schedule of the amended dates are updated.

The following scenarios illustrate this functionality.
