Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport completes its integration into the A-CDM program
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport has successfully completed the integration process into the Airport-Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) program.
A-CDM is a joint European initiative spearheaded by EUROCONTROL, ACI EUROPE, CANSO and IATA to improve the efficiency of airport operations, reducing delays, increasing the predictability of operations and optimising the use of resources, both material (airspace capacity, runways, parking facilities) and human resources (handling assistance teams, airport management, airlines)
This project, whose different phases of development and implementation at Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport have been progressing step by step since the beginning of 2019, represents a radical change in what until now was the usual way of working at the airport. In pursuit of greater agility and efficiency in the management of their resources, the main agents involved in airport operations at CDM airports are committed to greater permeability vis-à-vis the other actors involved in the operation of each flight, committing to joint decision-making through the sharing of the information available to each of them.
The A-CDM system allows EUROCONTROL, airlines and handling companies, air navigation providers, and the airports themselves to share updated and accurate information that until now was not mutually known, with the consequent impact on flights and the benefit for all parties involved, passengers and the environment.
Currently, in addition to Malaga’s infrastructure, European airports where the A-CDM program is fully implemented include Amsterdam, Bergamo, Berlin Brandenburg, Brussels, Copenhagen, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hamburg, Helsinki, Lisbon, London Heathrow, Lyon, Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Munich, Naples, Nice, Paris CDG, Paris Orly, Oslo, Prague, Riga, Rome Fiumicino, Stuttgart, Venice, Warsaw, and Zurich (in alphabetical order). In Spain, in the Aena network, in addition to Malaga-Costa del Sol, the A-CDM is incorporated in the airports Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat and Palma de Mallorca.
