New technology "to cut emissions and delays at Gatwick" by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Global Infrastructure Partners, the new owner of London Gatwick, has reached an agreement with National Air Traffic Services (Nats) to provide a new technology solution that could reduce emissions and passenger delays at the airport.

The Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM) system is designed to synchronise the management of the airfield.

Aircraft positions, arrival times, departure sequences and other information will be displayed on one screen or handheld device, meaning all people and companies operating at the airport will be able to work from the same set of data.

The technology will also allow quicker recovery from service disruptions.

David Wilson, head of airside operations at Gatwick, said: "We"re committed to developing capacity at Gatwick in an environmentally responsible way.

"A-CDM will not only increase the airport"s capacity, it will also allow us to improve our aircraft stand management, traffic flows, taxi times and reduce congestion. This is already the world"s busiest civil runway and this will lead to more efficient operations, lower emissions and lower costs for our airlines."

Mr Wilson pointed out that the system will track flights along the entire journey, providing more accurate details on information screens and fewer delays for passengers.
