- Civil Aviation Minister has inaugurated Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) Central Command Centre at Vasant Kunj in New Delhi.
- The C-ATFM system is primarily meant to address the balancing of capacity against the demand to achieve optimum utilization of the major resources such as airport, airspace and aircraft at every Indian airport where there is a capacity constraint.
- The C-ATFM system integrates flight data from various subsystems like ATC Automation System, flight updates and flight update messages.The system also displays weather information along with static information about airports,airspaces and air routes.
- The system processes the demand and capacity information and provides decision-making tools to the ATFM Flow Manager for collaborative decision making and to ensure regulated flow of traffic at each airport in India.
- The system is supported by 36 Flow Management Positions (FMPs) at various airports.Eight defence airports are also part of the ATFM network which are provided with FMPs.
- Further,after successfully implementing the Air Traffic Flow Management System,India has become the seventh country after the US, Europe, Australia, South Africa, Japan and Brazil.
