Business Benefits

"With the help of TAAM we are able to adjust airspace structure to meet the needs of airspace users. German Airspace capacity has been increased by up to 20%, and delays reduced by up to 30%."
Wolfgang Theeck, Senior Civil Aviation Expert, Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS).

Civil Aviation Authorities, Air Service Providers, Airport Operators and Airlines have all benefited from using TAAM. The drivers of choice behind a purchase of TAAM are primarily the financial benefits. Apart from the cost-effective, faster simulation studies available with TAAM, the following financial benefits are accrued:

Increased Revenue due to:

• Improved performance and utilization of ATC systems
• Increased productivity of existing resources
• Increased capacity due to better management of existing and future traffic volumes

Decreased Costs due to:

• Substantial reduction of ground and airborne delays
• Reduction in operating and fuel costs
• Increased safety resulting from better procedures
• Better management of existing infrastructure and resources
• Optimizing future investments in infrastructure and resources, through better planning and timing
• Reductions in workload through improved balancing of workload

The benefits of utilizing the TAAM product can be seen in the existing case studies of our customers.

What TAAM Can Do For You . . . . .

CAAs and Air Services Providers

• Analyze the impacts of global growth in air traffic
• Increase traffic flow and airspace utilization, while maintaining safety
• Analyze the capacity for national route systems, considering current and future traffic levels
• Redesign, resectorization and reclassification of airspace
• Measure benefits of reduced vertical separation minima
• Evaluate the implications of introducing new enroute and terminal procedures
• Assess the impact of changes in controller workload due to traffic growth, new airspace designs and procedures
• Assess new oceanic separation procedures
• Improve cooperation between civil and military air services
• Understand the impact of new procedures and rules
• Manage the impact of adverse weather conditions
• Study new CNS/ATM technologies.

Airport Operators

• Reduce congestion and delays and the associated economic and environmental costs, while maintaining safety
• Measure and improve current and future airport capacity
• Capitalize on the use of existing airport infrastructure and resources. Increased capacity means greater revenues from landing fees
• Evaluate the benefits of future infrastructure investments including new terminals, additional gates, taxiways or runways. Delaying development (or bringing it forward) by several years has major financial implications
• Improve irregular operations and measure the impact of disruptions such as proposed runway or taxiway maintenance works on your schedule and operations
• Assess the effect of changes in sequencing strategies and separation standards
• Plan noise abatement, de-icing and other operations in the most cost-effective way
• Plan for the transition to regional jets and the introduction of new large aircraft.

Airlines

• Plan operations, fleet changes, aircraft substitutions, de-icing and other procedures in the most cost-effective way
• Enhance competitiveness and profitability through reduced fuel use, shorter delays, and efficient block times. For example, a reduction of delays by 1 minute per aircraft at a single hub airport can save millions of dollars on an annual basis
• Optimize schedule design from early stages to ongoing adjustments
• Manage the introduction of regional jets and other fleet mix changes
• Evaluate past days' performance and train operations staff to handle disruptions more efficiently
• Analyze the initiatives of the national or local air services providers and their impact on your operation
• Propose initiatives to air services providers to reduce delays and increase efficiency.
