HCMCity (VNA) – In a stride towards aviation excellence, the Civil AviationAuthority of Vietnam (🍸CAAV) has greenlit the official launch of theAirport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) model at Tan Son Nhatinternational airport in Ho Chi Minh City, effective from February 1🍃, as declared by the airport onJanuary 30.
Thisannouncement marks the culmination of an extensive three-year testing andcollaborative efforts by Tan Son Nhat Airport and key stakeholders, positioningTan Son Nhat as an A-CDM airport on the airport map both regionally andglobally. SinceDecember 2020, two phases have been tried on daily flights, totaling 22,441, with the model applied during low, peak, and all-day periods for an extended duration. TanSon Nhat is the key gateway airport in the southern region, boasting the country’shighest takeoff and landing frequency, with nearly 260,000 flights annually.Passenger throughput at the airport reached 42 million last year, exceeding itsdesigned capacity by one and a half times. During thetrial of the A-CDM model, significant operational efficiencies were observed,including a higher on-time flight rate, minimised instances of aircraft waitingon the taxiway, and improved luggage and cargo handling thanks to better flightplanning. A-CDMmodel follows a global trend embraced by major airports. In Europe alone, 32airports have successfully deployed A-CDM, with eight in the testing phase.Furthermore, close to 20 airports in Asia have also succeeded inadopting this transformative model. A-CDM,as a standardised process, facilitates seamless collaboration and informationsharing among airport operators. It is tailored to address congestion,enhance operational planning efficiency, optimise the use of airport resources, and improve forecasting capabilities and ultimately flight punctuality./.
