EUROCONTROL and ACI EUROPE's collaboration to increase operational efficiencies at European airports is already making progress with more than 30 airports so far engaged in the programme.
Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM), directly links airports into the Air Traffic Management network and gives users access to a range of operational data allowing them to make their operations more efficient.
Successful implementation leads to significant reduction in CO2 emissions, which in turn helps airlines save fuel. A-CDM is a major part of the Memorandum of Understanding agreed in October 2008, between ACI EUROPE and EUROCONTROL.
Since then, they have jointly led this programme, helping airports overcome the technological challenges of A-CDM implementation.
The sharing of accurate and timely data between Air Traffic Management and airport operators, airlines, ground handlers and service providers involves investment in new systems and working methods.
