A-CDM solution takes into consideration aircraft’s expected time of arrivals, target off block times of departures, runway-in-use along with runway handling capacity and accordingly determines the aircraft arrival and departure sequence.
The primary focus of the A-CDM is on reducing aircraft holding delays at the runway holding point, the AAI statement said.
“This results in substantial saving of aviation fuel and reduction in carbon emissions,” added AAI.
This is achieved by improving the decision-making process by sharing relevant information among aviation stakeholders, it said.
The improved version of the A-CDM platform was installed and commissioned at Chennai and Kolkata airports last year, the AAI said.
