Information will be shared with all stakeholders involved in the preparation of an aircraft for a flight. During departures, this will reduce aircraft waiting times on taxiways.

With this partnership, it is estimated that around $40m can be saved on fuel, maintenance and carbon emissions over nine years when departure waiting times are reduced by 7% in peak periods.

With the A-DCM, data can be exchanged between air traffic control, network operations, airport operators and ground handlers.

This supports the use of information regarding aircraft arrival, turn-around and departure times to boost operational efficiency and reduce delays while giving accurate information to passengers.
