| A Single Source of Truth Before Aarhus Airport acquired PDC AODB 90% and PDC FIDS the operation was 100% manually managed. Flight data from airlines was manually processed in the various functions of the operation and these manual actions were necessary from when receiving the flight schedules to whenever changes occurred until after the operated program. This process was time consuming and required a lot of manpower when manually typing data from one system to another.Changing to PDC’s systems, optimised the manual workflow and enhanced productivity. Aarhus Airport automatically receives airline flight schedules and changes in real time based on the integration with replicated data from the Danish Slot Coordinator, ACD. The high quality of data is automatically transferred and carried in the whole system. |
Now 90% of the operations at Aarhus Airport are automated and manual inputs have been minimised. This enhances data quality and prevents data errors in the systems. Now it is a single source of truth that forms the backbone for all airport Stakeholders. This optimises the operation of each aspect as the data is used across every function in the entire airport.
