Every flight begins and ends at airports, which makes them essential nodes in the aviation network. The project will make use of advances in data technologies to help fully integrate airport operations into the network (AOP-NOP integration). The project will focus on the pre-tactical and strategic planning, using artificial intelligence to enable airport-to-airport collaborative planning within the network operations plan. The project also aims to extend the timeframe of the AOP-NOP integration, from months to days in advance of departure. The project will rely on state-of-the-art technologies to integrate new datasets available at local level, such as local restrictions, pre-tactical flight information and strategic local information in order to enrich demand and capacity balancing information and ensure efficient planning from the strategic phase.

FASTNet solution 1 introduces the collaboration and coordination between airports directly, in the tactical phase of operations, ensuring an optimal traffic demand and capacity balancing prior to coordination with the Network Manager. The aim is to ensure that airport pairs (origin-destination airports) play an active role in the overall Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) process.
FASTNet Solution 2 reinforces the information sharing between airports and the Network Manager in the strategic and pre-tactical phase of operations. The aim is to ensure that the right information is shared as early as possible between the key stakeholders to ensure that tactical operations have been planned in an optimal way.
The proposed FASTNet solutions are expected to:
- Increase predictability on airport resources (Airport operators, ground handlers, etc),
- Maximise utilisation of available capacity at ground and airspace operations.
- Reduce ATFM delays to the benefit of ANSPs, Network Manager, Airspace Users and passengers. In addition, the prediction of regulations with their likelihood and possible quantification in delays will also provide clear benefits to airspace users.
- Improve the Network Demand and Capacity Balancing process, through the reinforced integration of Airports within the Network, by adjusting the Network capacity to airspace users' needs.
- Contribute to a lower environmental footprint, since a more predictable and punctual operation is directly linked with lower fuel consumption.
