Implementation Assessment of Airport Collaborative Decision Making at Split Airport

The problem of aircraft delay within airport system has been present for the last few decades and represents a major generator of delay in the whole system of air traffic. Due to the complexity of operations at the airport as well as the number of participants involved in the process, there is a need for a unique collaborative system. The Airport Collaborative Decision Making (ACDM) system is based on two key elements: the predictability of events and on-time performance. Improving the two key elements in all phases of flight planning would allow participants in the air traffic system significant improvements in operation performing. The ACDM system is one of the five priority measures in the Flight Efficiency Plan, which was developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO) and the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL). The paper will analyze the issue of traffic at the Split Airport in terms of delay and on-time performance. Also the paper will analyze the main causes of aircraft delay by IATA codes and according to participants in air transport. The results of the analysis will indicate the need for implementation of the ACDM system.
