Who develops the manual exercises procedures to manifest passengers?

The development of manual exercises procedures for manifesting passengers is typically the responsibility of local management. This is because local management has a deeper understanding of the specific needs, operational procedures, and regulatory requirements of the airport and airline service being provided. They are in direct contact with the day-to-day operations, allowing them to tailor the procedures to improve efficiency, compliance, and customer service.

Headquarters staff generally focus on broader policies and procedures that apply to all locations, rather than crafting specific operational drills tailored to individual locations. Flight attendants are more involved in the in-flight experience and safety procedures but do not normally create manifesting procedures. Similarly, while Passenger Service Agents play an important role in the check-in process and handling passengers, they do not develop the procedural manuals themselves; instead, they implement the procedures set forth by local management.
