Airside Capacity Enhancement using Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) method

Abstract

Airside capacity improvement is a critical challenge for airports worldwide, especially in the face of increasing air traffic demand. This paper explores the application of Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) as a method to enhance airside capacity. A-CDM facilitates collaborative planning and real-time information sharing among airport stakeholders, including airlines, air traffic control, and ground handlers. This paper aimed to discussed, how A-CDM can optimize aircraft turnaround processes, improve aircraft sequencing and scheduling, enhance situational awareness, and enable more efficient use of airside resources. The benefits of A-CDM for airside capacity improvement are discussed, including reduced delays, improved punctuality, increased throughput, and enhanced safety. Case studies and examples are presented to illustrate successful implementation of A-CDM in improving airside capacity at airports. The paper concludes with recommendations for implementing A-CDM to enhance airside capacity and improve overall airport operations efficiency.
