presentation from Passenger Terminal Conference 2015 "A-CDM & the next FRONTIER" as held on March 10, 2015 in Paris, as part of the Management & Operations stream. Synopsis:  Airport CDM has been around in Europe for about 15 years. Recently, interest from other regions has emerged, and finally the pace of implementation appears to be picking up, with 15 EU airports reaching full A-CDM status by November 2014. Meanwhile, the tangible benefits have not been clearly documented, and development and validation of the next-level concepts such as SESAR Airport Operations Management and Total Airport Management continue. Which real benefits have been achieved, what challenges remain for implementation, and what's happening outside Europe? How will these new concepts build on A-CDM and make use of lessons learned?

3. Airport CDM – the concept
© e10CDM | aviation consultancy 3March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com
EUROCONTROL definition:
Airport CDM is about partners working together more
efficiently and transparently in how they work and sharing data.
Improved decisions based on more accurate and timely
information are possible with Airport CDM implementation, resulting in
all airport partners having the same operational picture, with the same
meaning to all involved.
It allows each Airport CDM Partner to optimise their decisions in
collaboration with other Airport CDM Partners, knowing their
preferences and constraints in actual and predicted situations.

4. Airport CDM – the objectives
© e10CDM | aviation consultancy 4March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com

Control, Ground Handlers & Airlines
Objectives:
• Improve predictability

15. A-CDM challenges in Europe (1)
Political reasons:
• Lack off / disagreement on MoU
• Lack off a Program Manager & Project
Leaders with all partners
• Difficulties between two or more
partners
• Identifying which partner to lead/drive
local CDM program
• Fear of confidentiality violations
• Lack of involvement / support from
senior management
Budgetary reasons:
• Conflicting priorities / project funding
problems
• Difficulties quantifying costs and/or
benefits
Procedural reasons:
• Difficulties to implement CDM
milestones & (change) related
processes
• Program & Project Management issues
Technical reasons:
• Difficulties with changing diverse
systems/IT & servers integration &
development
2014 © e10CDM | aviation consultancy 15March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com

16. A-CDM challenges in Europe (2)
Operational reasons:
• Partners reluctant to release
data
• Partial implementation of CDM
processes/procedures
• Lack of involvement of
operational staff
• Resist to (operational) change
• After implementation, data
accuracy & timeliness detoriates
General reasons:
• Lack of commitment
• Lack of awareness (of benefits)
• Conflicting priorities of partners
• Difficulties in convincing
partners / only voluntary
implementation
• Unforeseen withdrawel of a
major partner
• Changing organisation Culture

17. A-CDM on a global scale
North-America:
• Surface CDM (NextGen)
Asia-Pacific:
• various local programs
• regional ATFM project
Middle-East:
• various local programs
South-America:
• Initial interest

2014 © e10CDM | aviation consultancy 18March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com
A-CDM is a Single European Sky Implementation Package 1 Deliverable
The development of the SES ATM Masterplan relies on CDM implementation

19. SES(AR) Airport Operations Management
© e10CDM | aviation consultancy 19March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com
Essential elements:
• Airport Operations Plan (AOP)
• Airport OPerations Center
(APOC)
• Network Operations integration
SESAR AOM Services:
• Steer Airport Performance
• Monitor Airport Performance
• Manager Airport Performance
• Perform Post-Operations Analysis

20. A Next level: Total Airport Management
2014 © e10CDM | aviation consultancy 20March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com

21. Accelarate implementation: real partnerships
2014 © e10CDM | aviation consultancy 21March 10, 2015 www.passengerterminal-expo.com
• Good intentions are there:
– ACI Europe / Eurocontrol / CANSO MoC
– Industry Efficiency Programs (initial targets)
– ATM Masterplan & Update (new: EU funding!)
– SESAR, Nextgen & ICAO ASBU alignment
• Missing key ingredients:
– thrust & drive
– collaborative leadership

22. In summary
The A-CDM Experience Key recommendations
• have common objective
• respect all partners
• be transparant
• share & learn
• formalise commitment
• no simple IT project..
• needs “doers”, not talkers
• How airports should work
