Who do PSAs notify of any last-minute add-ons or changes at the departure gate?

The responsibility of notifying last-minute add-ons or changes at the departure gate primarily falls to the Dispatch team. Dispatch is integral in ensuring that all necessary information regarding the flight is communicated to relevant parties, including any alterations that may impact flight operations. This can include last-minute passenger additions, changes to cargo, or updates related to flight timing.

While flight attendants and boarding agents play crucial roles in the boarding process and passenger service, they rely on the information relayed by dispatch to manage their responsibilities effectively. Security personnel are focused on the safety aspects of the operation which do not typically involve last-minute passenger or routing changes. Therefore, the Dispatch team is the most appropriate point of contact for these types of notifications.
