Session: Management & Operations (inc ACDM, ATC & TAM)

11:30 - 12:00 - Airports arrivals management – the next step towards airport integration into ATM
Synopsis: On Saturdays throughout June 2013, SESAR live trial sessions were performed at Palma de Mallorca Airport to assess the benefits of managing airport arrivals for PMI airport stakeholders: Aena as local ANSP, Palma de Mallorca Airport, Air Berlin, Air Europa, easyJet and Eurocontrol. For the last 10 years airports have made great efforts to be integrated into the European ATM, the A-CDM being the first step in this direction. The live trials address the next step towards the integration of the airport into ATM to manage arrivals in a collaborative environment, improving traffic demand forecast and airport arrival punctuality.

Audience will learn:

• Benefits of applying CDM for airport arrivals
• The benefits of integrating airports into ATM
• How airlines can improve their overall performance including their needs in the slot allocation process
