Riga Airport Laila Odiņa highlights: “A-CDM is more than just procedures and processes, it is a shift in thinking and working, by integrating the operational services of the airport into the real-time information space and allowing everyone to work as a unified team. Accurate, timely and transparent exchange of information and a common understanding of the situation as a whole allows for sustainable and efficient use of infrastructure and resources, fuel saving for airlines, reduced CO2 emissions and better experiences for travellers.”
The introduction of A-CDM will allow for an increase of the capacity of Riga Airport when the normal flight regime is restored. In autumn of 2016 LGS signed an agreement with the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) on the allocation of co-financing in the amount of 50% of the eligible costs of the A-CDM project. Overall, the project is planed to cost a total of 1,930,000 euros.
The funding was provided by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
