CANSO Academy: Collaborative Decision Making (CDM)

Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is one of the most important processes in ATM, especially in Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) and Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM). CDM enables all members of the ATM community to collaborate in the decision-making process that ensures the best outcome based on equity and access.

With COVID-19 pandemic having significant effect on the aviation community around the globe, CDM becomes especially important as ATM stakeholders and service providers are grappling with the situation and making operational decisions based on the ever-changing environment.

In this webinar, we will learn what CDM is, why it is important, and how CDM culture can be introduced or enhanced into the national and regional ATM environment. We will also hear from ATFM/CDM experts from FAA, EUROCONTROL, CADENA, APAC Multi-Nodal ATFM Collaboration, and IATA on how CDM is being used in their operations to manage the recovery of ATM as a result of the pandemic.
