Airport operations optimization (A-CDM concept)

Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) is a structured working method that strengthens coordination between:

• Airlines
• Ground handling agents
• Air traffic control
• Genève Aéroport teams

The objective is simple: to maintain a shared and up-to-date view of each flight, from arrival to departure.

Thanks to harmonized data and common procedures, decisions are made faster, with greater accuracy and predictability.

The implementation of A-CDM enables:

• Improved departure punctuality
• Reduced waiting times and optimized resource use
• Better anticipation of operational disruptions
• Increased transparency between partners

This approach contributes to more efficient infrastructure management and better control of traffic flows.

The system is based on:

• Shared operational milestones
• Continuously updated and shared flight data
• Standardized information exchange
• Digital tools enabling real-time monitoring

Each partner feeds the system with reliable data.
In return, all stakeholders benefit from consolidated information to plan and adjust their operations.

A-CDM aligns with European recommendations for air traffic management.

By adopting this model, Genève Aéroport aligns with international best practices and contributes to:

• Better integration into the European network
• More sustainable operations management
• Reduction of knock-on delays

At Genève Aéroport, collaboration is at the heart of our operations.

A-CDM reflects our commitment to:

• Smooth coordination
• Transparent decision-making
• Sustainable collective performance
