A-CDM as a Crew Think about a crew as an airframe. Optimised turn-around process Better allocation of responsibilities (who does what): Processes, responsibilities and times are clearly defined Improved safety on the ground (parking stand) More punctuality: better slot/tobt adherence Better client services (gate allocation) and better connection management Reduction of number of slots suffered Specific airport procedures should be easily accessible and available to flight crew. Training. Important to understand what s behind Understanding the benefits is key. Otherwise, you have frustration
