Which phase continues after all passengers are off the plane and lasts until the next flight is prepared?

• A. Post-Flight
• B. Boarding
• C. SOP
• D. Inflight

Answer: (A)

After all passengers have deplaned, the aircraft enters the post-flight phase, the period of turnaround before the next departure. This phase lasts from that moment until the plane is fully prepared for the next flight. During post-flight, ground crews clean the cabin, restock galleys, unload and reload baggage and cargo, refuel if needed, perform safety and basic maintenance checks, and ensure the aircraft is configured for the upcoming trip. This timing is different from boarding (which happens before departure) and inflight (which happens during the flight), and SOP refers to standard procedures rather than a phase.
