NATS have secured a contract to provide London's Gatwick airport with a managed Airport CDM Service.
Here is what David Wilson, Head of Airside Operations at Gatwick, said:
A-CDM will not only increase the airport’s capacity, it will also allow us to improve our aircraft stand management, traffic flows, taxi times and reduce congestion. This is already the world’s busiest civil runway, and this will lead to more efficient operations, lower emissions and lower costs for our airlines.
Passengers will benefit from fewer delays and more accurate information on flight information screens because the software means flights can be tracked along the entire journey, rather than just on approach or departure.
