Given the traffic movements expected in the aviation industry in the coming years and the recent enhancements to the ATC en-route network, European airports are becoming a restricting bottleneck of the overall ATM system. It is therefore important to make the best possible use of the existing airport infrastructure.
Airport CDM is about partners working together more efficiently and transparently in how they share data. This course begins by highlighting the importance of full and common operational situational awareness for airport partners. It then goes on to provide guidance to participants on how to  implement Airport CDM at their respective airports. Furthermore it describes the local benefits, the return on investment and the gains envisaged for the overall ATM network.
The course will include presentations from airports which have already implemented CDM and demonstrations of specific CDM benefits.
