the panel discussion on Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) of which
 trial operation had been started at the pre-departure sequencing processes.
The web-based application named Intelligent Departure Enhancement Program IDEP)
was produced to facilitate the A-CDM process. Ground handlers or Aircraft Operators
are required to inform the Target-off Blocked Time and then the system calculates the
Target- Start Approval Time (TSAT).based on the principle of ‘Best Plan Best Serve.’
The aircraft are sequenced to be pushed back in an optimal order. The trial operation
reflected cooperation and support from Airlines and stakeholders. They also express
willingness to support the further step of A-CDM with the aim to enhance on-time
performance and predictability and to upgrade aviation sector.
