Day 1 - 10 March
Session: Management & Operations

09:10 - 09:35 - Strategic role of the Airport Operation Centre (APOC)
Synopsis: Collaboration between key actors is critical to performance management of airports and to provide the best possible experience to passengers and airlines. The SESAR Airport Operations Centre (APOC) builds on A-CDM implementation to further develop airport performance and connection to the network. It adds landside aspects (passenger experience) and provides new support-to-decision tools. In cooperation with the key main European airports, Eurocontrol is validating the APOC concept through a new airside and landside simulation platform, with a view to quantifying the expected benefits, improving interactions between APOC members, validating new support-to-decision tools and improving airport connection to the network.
