******************************************************************************************
The award aims to commend the increasingly important role of technology innovation in the development of a strong, sustainable and resilient aviation industry. The ACI recognised the joint efforts of the CAD and AAHK in implementing the DATMS at HKIA to enhance safety and operational efficiency through utilisation of digitalisation and artificial intelligence, while fostering collaboration between the air navigation service provider and the airport operator.
With over 240 camera sensors and 120 working positions for phase one and two implementations, the DATMS is one of the world's largest and most complex Digital Tower and Digital Apron implementations. By collaborating to leverage on a common software platform, technical infrastructure and video imaging system, synergies were created that resulted in safety and efficiency gains for air traffic control and airport operation. Since its phase 1 commissioning in July 2022, the DATMS has efficiently assisted air traffic control and airport operations in enhancing safety and efficiency under adverse weather conditions, including low-visibility situations in humid seasons.
The CAD and AAHK extended their gratitude to the ACI in recognition of their close co-operation in successfully implementing this technology innovation in HKIA.
The ACI was established in 1991 to provide support for the worlds' airports to promote excellence in the aviation industry. It contributes to the safety, security, and sustainability of the global aviation industry by advancing the collective interests of airports and the communities they serve, and promoting excellence in airport management and operations. At present, the ACI has about 712 members in 71 countries from 1 925 airports.
