ASBUs – Blocks 2 & 3 Overview
Blocks 2 & 3 – ACI Viewpoint

2. Cooperation at the International Level
ICAO’s leadership role
Publication of standards and framework documents
Creative vision
Industry collaboration
SIMILARLY TO IATA, AS CARLOS CIRILO SAID YESTERDAY, ACI IS FULLY ALIGNED WITH ICAO ON THE ASBU CONCEPT AND WE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT
ALL AIR ROUTES START AND END AT AN AIRPORT! 2

3. 20 years serving airports worldwide
The year 2011 marked
20 years serving airports worldwide
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON ACI. WE CELEBRATED OUR 20 YEARS LAST YEAR.
ACI WAS FORMED WHEN THE PREVIOUS TWO ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING AIRPORTS MERGED IN 1991 3

4. ACI’s Mission
To advance the interests of airports and to promote professional excellence in management and operation of airports.
OUR MISSION IS TO REPRESENT THE COLLECTIVE INTERESTS OF THE WORLD’S AIRPORTS AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. WE PROMOTE PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE IN AIRPORT OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT, AND WE STRIVE FOR A SAFE, SECURE AND SUSTAINABLE AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT CONTINUES TO BE A DRIVER OF ECONOMIC VITALITY FOR COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE.

7. Airports are diverse and unique
AIRPORTS ARE UNIQUE AND COME IN A HUGE RANGE OF SHAPES AND SIZES.
THERE IS AN OLD SAYING…..IF YOU HAVE SEEN ONE AIRPORT…..YOU HAVE SEEN ONE AIRPORT
THEIR RANGE IS OFTEN GOES BEYOND AERONAUTICAL ACTIVITY. THEY HAVE BECOME ENGINES OF SOCIOECONOMIC GROWTH.
AVIATION PLAYS A VITAL ROLE FOR ECONOMIES AND TOURISM – AND THEREFORE THEIR AIRPORTS ARE VITAL TOO

8. +5% 5.4 billion passengers +5.3% passengers first ½ in 2011 in 2011
2011 and 2012 Passenger Traffic
5.4 billion passengers
in 2011
+5%
passengers
first ½
of 2012
+5.3% passengers
in 2011
AIRPORT PASSENGER NUMBERS INCREASED BY 5.3 % IN 2011 TO 5.4 BILLION. (BEAR IN MIND THAT AIRPORTS COUNT ARRIVING AND DEPARTING PASSENGERS, SO THESE NUMBERS ARE TWICE THOSE THAT THE AIRINES REPORT – THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TAKING A FLIGHT)
IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2012, GROWTH HAS REMAINED AT 5%
Source: ACI World 8

9. Growth Factors Include:
2028 (the Block 3 horizon) is only 15 years away!
By then, we expect close to 10 BILLION passengers, a near doubling from now
GDP GROWTH, POPULATION GROWTH AND INCREASE IN PROPENSITY TO TRAVEL – ESPECIALLY IN THE MARKETS WHICH ARE NOT YET MATURE
WITH THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF EACH OF US IN THIS ROOM, WHAT WE SHOULD ALL FOCUS ON GOING FORWARD WITH A STANDARD SET OF SOLUTIONS FOR AIR NAVIGATION – PRECISELY THE PURPOSE OF THE AIR NAVIGATION CONFERENCE
Growth Factors Include:
GDP Growth
Population Growth
Propensity to Travel

10. Airports are Facing Challenges
Capacity constraints
Congestion
Aircraft delays
Increased carbon emissions
Managing Real-time airport operations
Irregular operations
The situation is
likely to get worse
with projected traffic
growth
LOOKING AHEAD TO BLOCKS 2 AND 3: “JOINED UP” OPTIMISATION OF THE SKY AND GROUND IS NEEDED.
THIS MEANS EN-ROUTE, TERMINAL AIRSPACE, LANDING AND TAKE-OFF, AIRPORT SURFACE OPERATIONS, GATES, TERMINALS, PARTNERS  AND LANDSIDE.
WE SEE A SOLUTION TO THIS THAT INTEGRATES AIRPORTS – AIRPORT CDM- WHICH CAN LEAD TO BENEFICIAL OUTCOMES FOR ALL PARTNERS, ECONOMICALLY, ENVIRONMENTALLY AND IN TERMS OF SAFETY
WE DESCRIBE OUR VIEWS IN A PAPER FOR THE CONFERENCE ON AIRPORT CDM.
GAINS IN EFFICIENCY IN THE SKY FROM NEW AIR NAVIGATION SYSEMS, NEED TO BE REFLECTED ON THE GROUND
Collaborative Decision Making (CDM)
is needed to overcome these challenges

11. Aviation System Block Upgrades
CDM Evolution and Integration
Example
Inter-Continental
Inflight CDM
ICAO - System Wide
Information Management
(SWIM)
ICAO
Aviation System Block Upgrades
THERE IS A HIERARCHY OF CDM SYSTEMS, WITH STAND-ALONE AIRPORT SYSTEMS AS A BUILDING BLOCK,
REGIONAL SYSTEMS ARE NEXT USING INFLIGHT AND AIRPORT CDM TO CREATE WHAT WE CALL NETWORK CDM
FINALLY THERE IS THE WORLDWIDE OR INTERCONTINENTAL LEVEL, WHICH BECOMES POSSIBLE WITH THE FULL DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASBU SYSTEM TO LEVEL 2 AND 3. THIS IS BASED ON IMPLEMENTING LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 0 INCLUDING FULL AIRPORT CDM AND SWIM FOR AIR NAVIGATION
Inflight CDM

12. The Airport - CDM Partners
CFMU
Ground Handlers
THE MAIN AIRPORT CDM PARTNERS ARE SHOWN
A-CDM ENABLES AIRPORT PARTNERS TO WORK TOGETHER MORE EFFICIENTLY AND TRANSPARENTLY. IT IS AN IMPORTANT CULTURAL CHANGE AIMED AT FACILITATING IMPROVED INFORMATION SHARING AMONG STAKEHOLDERS, ENABLING OPTIMISED USE OF LOCAL CAPACITY
ATC WORKS WITH CENTRAL FLOW MANAGEMENT (AS IT USED TO BE CALLED IN EUROPE) OR NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Aircraft Operators
ATC
Airport Operator

13. We Each Hold a Piece of the Puzzle
Airlines
Ground handling
ATC
Pax handling
Baggage handling
Roads,
car parks
Environmental
Management
Shared information
Task distribution
Efficient design
Interfaces
ALL THE PLAYERS HAVE INFORMATION BASED ON THEIR ACTIVITIES
THEY NEED TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION, TO ENHANCE EFFICIENCY AND BEST USE CAPACITY 13

14. Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM)14
(Airport) We plan this...
(Airline) Great, but what we
want is this...
(ATC) Sorry guys, but we
work like this...
(Communities) Noise + gaseous
pollution, safety...
(Ground handling)
How will we cope?
(Legislator) Slot rules,
Safety, Economic,
Environmental Regulation etc...
(PAX) landside congestion,
check-in, security, delays…
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT CONSTARINTS

15. Improve common situational awareness between the airport partners
Challenges (1)
Improve common situational awareness between the airport partners
INFORMATION AT AN AIRPORT IS FRAGMENTED
NO ONE HAS THE COMPLETE PICTURE
EVERY AIRPORT PARTNER’S ACTIVITY DEPENDS ON OTHER ACTORS

16. Enhance predictability of airport operations
Challenges (2)
Enhance predictability of airport operations
AIRPORT OPERATIONS ARE NOT WELL ANTICIPATED
INFORMED DECISION-MAKING UNDER RAPIDLY CHANGING OPERATING CONDITIONS – WHICH IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL DURING DEVIATIONS FROM NORMAL OPERATIONS (IRREGULAR OPERATIONS).

17. Optimise the utilisation of airport resources
Challenges (3)
Optimise the utilisation of airport resources
AIRPORT RESOURCES ARE LIMITED AND SO ARE THE POSSIBILITIES OF GROWTH AT MOST AIRPORTS. NEW GREENFIELD AIRPORTS ARE RARE IN MOST PARTS OF THE WORLD

18. Limit the environmental impact of airport operations
Challenges (4)
Limit the environmental impact of airport operations
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS AT AIRPORTS ARE GETTING MUCH STRONGER
EFFICIENCY AND REDUCED ENIVONMENTAL IMPACT GO HAND IN HAND – FORTUNATELY, A “WIN-WIN” SITUATION

19. Better integrate the airports into the ATM Network
Challenges (5)
Better integrate the airports into the ATM Network
THIS MAP OF EUROPE SHOWS TRAFFIC DENSITY IN THE AIRSPACE ABOVE EUROPE WHICH MIRRORS THE CONCENTRATION OF MAJOR AIRPORTS
IT IS IMPORTANT TO AVOID THAT AIRPORTS ARE ‘BLACK HOLES’ AS FAR AS THE ATM NETWORK IS CONCERNED - WHAT GOES ON AT AIRPORTS MUST BE KNOWN AND SHARED

ACRIS – Airport Community Recommended Information Services
Aviation industry has:
 Recommended Process Definitions (flow descriptions)
- i.e. Airport CDM milestones
 Recommended Data Descriptions (envelopes)
- i.e. AIDX – Aviation Information Data Exchange
- XML schema approved by ACI and IATA
… but we need:
 Recommended ‘web-service’ interfaces that show:
WHAT data is available,
HOW this data can be exchanged, and
HOW this data can be (re)used in an efficient way.
WE WANT TO PROMOTE EASY AND STANDARDISED WAYS OF IMPLEMENTING AIRPORT CDM
ACI’s ACRIS IS A WAY OF DOING THIS, USING EASILY ACCESSIBLE WEB SERVICES TO EXCHANGE VITAL DATA BETWEEN PARTNERS, SUCH AS FLIGHT STATUS AND AIRPORT MILESTONE INFORMATION (E.G. TOBT / TARGET OFF BLOCK TIME)
This is what the ACI ACRIS WG is focusing on

21. BENEFITS Performance Based Navigation for Airport Operators
Environment Reduced emissions
Capacity Reduced delays
Safety Especially for runway ends not served by precision navigation aids
I ALSO WANT TO DISCUSS PBN, ON WHICH ACI HAS FILED A PAPER SUPPORTING ICAO AND OUR PARTNERS
AIRPORTS FULLY SUBSCRIBE TO THE BENEFITS OF PBN
ENVIRONMENT
CAPACITY
SAFETY 21

22. Noise Concerns Noise exposure remains a major problem
Airports need permission to grow
Land use planning around airports can create new problems
New approach and departure routes need to be planned with the airport operator and surrounding communities
HOWEVER; NEW APPROACH AND DEPARTURE ROUTES ARE A VERY SENSITIVE MATTER AND NEED TO BE PLANNED TOGETHER WITH THE AIRPORT OPERATOR FROM THE OUTSET 22

23. Reducing Community Noise Exposure and Helping Airports to Help their Communities
HOW PBN CAN ASSIST – CURVED APPROACH TRACK, WITH PRECISION AND CDA 23

24. Impediments to Performance Based Navigation
Aircraft equipage: many older aircraft not equipped for PBN
Lack of PBN procedures at some airports
PBN capable aircraft may have to fit in with non-PBN capable aircraft on same flight tracks
Pilot demand for radar vectoring for quickest arrival time
Congested airspace makes aircraft arrival time management difficult
THE IMPEDIMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOUCHED ON 24

25. Overcoming Impediments to Performance Based Navigation
Increase capacity with new approach and departure routes
Reorganize traffic/ Creative Vision
Overlay PBN and non-PBN procedures
THERE ARE GOOD WAYS TO OVERCOME SUCH PROBLEMS 25

26. Leading, representing and serving the global airport community
IN CONCLUSION, WE REALLY HOPE TO SEE THE ASBU CONCEPT IMPLEMENTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO BLOCK 2 and 3
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Leading, representing and serving the global airport community 26
