The airline’s playbook for prepping each flight is called the Precision Time Schedule and involves a fleet of teams, from cargo and baggage to cleaning and catering. Behind BA’s new punctuality records lies a suite of AI tools and high-tech operations centers.

WSJ explores the logistics behind the vital aircraft turnaround.
