5) Airport Operational Database (AODB)
An Airport Operational Database (AODB) is a central repository of real-time and historical flight-related data from daily and seasonal flight schedules that supports the operations of an airport.
Learn everything you need to know about AODB in our extended article here:
6) Total Airport Management (TAM)
Total Airport Management (TAM) is a concept that aims to holistically coordinate and optimise the processes and procedures of an airport.
