Airport-Collaborative Decision Making Studies show that Airport CDM offers substantial benefits with a predicted benefit-tocost ratio of 9:1 and a return of investment within 2 years. Transforming first come first served to best planned best served. First hand feedback reveals that culture shift is the biggest challenge for any airport wishing to increase efficiency through CDM. A-CDM is a process driven change not an IT quick fix. The most beneficial action an airport can take is to find a technology partner who truly understands A-CDM, has experience implementing it, and has built the right tools to support the process. Optimising the process. A-CDM without a pre-departure sequencer cannot realise the full benefits. Using scientifically designed algorithms, the pre-departure sequencer optimises the pre-departure process to improve punctuality and slot adherence making your airport more attractive to your airline customers by delivering substantial fuel savings, and efficiencies in all aspects of ground handling. 16 Steps to success. The milestone dashboard supports all of the 16 Eurocontrol milestones but is also fully configurable to enable airports outside the Eurocontrol jurisdiction to define the milestones that are most important to their operation. It provides an overall view of the entire turnaround process, including the capability to view by exception and to proactively manage the flights predicted to be late.
