Partners involved: Airport Operator – ANSP – Eurocontrol – GH - Major AOs
(SNBA-VEX-TCW) and AOC
Project setup: BBCG, MoU is underway and all CDM-levels are engaged
Data Exchange becomes optimized
TA-CDM & SA-CDM & CDMP-Working Group (liaison cell)
Current accuracy of data
ELDT: less than 1’
EIBT: less than 1’
86.65% of the flights obtain a TSAT with less than 1’ deviation from their TOBT
79.46% of the flights obtain a TSAT with less than 1’ deviation from their EOBT

Do’s and Don'ts of Airport Implementation
What advice can you give other airports intending to implement
Airport CDM? e.g.
Project management: No “Big Bang” but “Step by Step” approach by all
the Airport Partners.
Delays: “Gentlemen’s Agreement” amongst all Stakeholders
Systems: Integration into the existing systems
Partner involvement: “All” is recommended
Publicity: “Awareness”, also within the same company. Organise CDMvisits,
especially for Operational People
Testing, trials and validation: remember “Murphy’s Law”
Don’t give up and learn from each other. There’s no way back!

Benefits & Next Steps
Success measurement: Punctuality & Service Improvement
Initial CBA of implementing CDM: “reduce the departure delay
and the rest will follow”
How do maintain commitment from the partners:
Dialogue, Awareness, Respect, Transparency and Satisfaction (DARTS)
Next Steps:
1. MoU & commitment
2. Phased implementation of CDM in Adverse Conditions
(TA-CDM & SA-CDM)
3. Upgrading of existing procedures: “the never ending story”
4. 2007 = year of international breakthrough?
