Perhaps most significant was the 2006 Global AIM Congress held in Madrid Spain boasting more than 500 attendees from 80 countries. The Global congress recognized that aeronautical information management is key towards global air traffic management. Among the key principles, the delegates recommended the adoption of AIXM.
Since the Congress, the AIXM team has finalized AIXM 5 by releasing a series of design documents, proposals and the AIXM 5 Release Candidate 1 model. The work began in February 2006 at the Design Review. Following your recommendations and endorsements we released AIXM 5 Release Candidate 1 in November Closely following the release we fully deployed our AIXM web site ( including the newly released AIXM Forum.
