Auckland Airport

When Auckland Airport decided to implement airport collaborative decision making, they partnered with the team that lives and breathes collaboration.

Making connections

 

Auckland Airport is one of the busiest in Australasia, with passenger numbers hitting 20 million in 2019. Increasing the productivity of its assets, processes and operations was identified as key to improving performance and making journeys better for its passengers, visitors and partners.  However, some real-time communication gaps were impacting efficiency, making it difficult to accurately predict both a flight’s on block time and readiness to depart.

Auckland Airport needed a way of sharing operational data in real-time to optimise decision making and resources across the entire organisation, and improve on-time departures[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]

Smart software leads to smarter decision making

 

Auckland Airport, together with its Air Traffic Control (ATC), airlines, ground handlers, government border agencies and other airport partners took the decision to embrace Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM). This would involve building stronger structures of operational collaboration and developing a platform for the access and distribution of real-time, flight-related information across the airport.

That platform was Veovo’s Predictive Collaboration Platform. Solutions included Veovo Flight Management, Veovo Resource Management, Veovo Revenue Management, Veovo Customer Management (FIDS) and Veovo A-CDM.  With built-in interoperability and seamless data exchange, Veovo delivered on every requirement, including embedded intelligence for better flight predictability, mobile-enabled software and an intuitive, easy to learn interface. The Veovo team managed every phase; from data integration and software installation to training. Their consultative approach and depth of airport experience proved critical in delivering the best possible A-CDM solution.

For Anil Varma, who was the Acting General Manager of Aeronautical Operations at Auckland Airport during the project, collaboration was key.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” seperator_enable=”seperator_enable_value” seperator_type=”tilt_left_seperator” seperator_svg_height=”220″ css=”.vc_custom_1530778476740{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}” bg_color_value=”rgba(42,210,201,0.1)”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_single_image image=”724″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle” el_id=”TestZ”][vc_column_text]

Fantastic Results

 

Arriving flights now spend less time waiting on the tarmac, resulting in fuel savings for airlines and a reduced carbon footprint. For international flights, there is less congestion on the arrivals apron and an increase in the number of flights receiving pushback approval within 60 seconds of request. Departure performance was also improved, despite an 8% increase in traffic during the 18-month period post go live when the results were measured..[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” bg_override=”full” bg_color_value=”rgba(42,210,201,0.05)” css=”.vc_custom_1568969073513{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]
