TAM Principles and Advantages

The Definition of TAM Principles

Total Airport Management (TAM) is a concept that aims to holistically coordinate and optimise the processes and procedures of an airport. The aim is to closely network all relevant players such as airport operators, airlines, ground handling services, air traffic control and other partners in order to make operations more efficient, transparent and responsive.

Core Principles:

TAM is often based on the A-CDM (Airport Collaborative Decision Making) approach, but expands it through more comprehensive integration and strategic planning. The CAST solutions are fully compatible with the TAM principle and support the central principles.
