The Possibility of Implementing the A-CDM Concept at Smaller Airports up to 2 Million Passengers

Airport Collaborative Decision Making, Airport CDM or A-CDM in short is a concept being deployed at airports, which delivers operational efficiency and resilience improvements by improving the predictability of events during the progress of a flight and optimising the utilisation of resources and infrastructure. When implemented successfully, A-CDM facilitates improved collaboration between the typical A-CDM partners (airport operators, ATC units, aircraft operators and ground handlers) for optimal decision making by factoring in their priorities, preferences and constraints, for the actual and predicted situation. Originally focusing on large hubs, the adoption of A-CDM principles is getting more traction at smaller and regional airports as they see the benefits of thorough stakeholder collaboration. In this paper we will analyze the possibility of implementing the A-CDM concept at smaller airports up to 2 milion passengers.
