FAA's Surface Management vs Eurocontrol's A-CDM

Download 2024 Program

This Practical Experience Exchange on FAA’s Surface Management vs. Eurocontrol’s Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) provides Airports and Air Navigation professionals with a hands-on comparative analysis of two major airport operations management frameworks.

Participants will explore how the FAA’s Surface Management system enhances real-time situational awareness and traffic flow at U.S. airports, while Eurocontrol’s A-CDM fosters improved coordination among European airports by integrating airlines, ground handlers, and air traffic control.

Through case studies, simulations, and expert-led discussions, attendees will gain insights into the operational efficiencies, challenges, and best practices of each system, enabling them to optimize airport performance and decision-making in their respective regions.
