Collaborative Decision Making (CDM), a joint government/industry initiative focused on improving air traffic management, supports increased collaboration and information exchange among the various parties that make any flight possible. Currently, there are more than 50 participating aviation companies in the CDM program, whose goal is to improve CDM processes and lay the groundwork for the next generation air traffic system.

With increasing momentum for CDM expansion to South America, Asia and Europe, airlines will benefit from improvements that will limit flight delays, increase efficiency and support communications advancement. AvFinity's CDM Express™ offers a cost-effective alternative to receiving CDM messages through legacy providers. This solution includes a direct connection to the FAA Volpe Transportation Center, providing you with flexible solutions geared to meeting today's aviation needs.
AvFinity's CDM Express features:

• Access to CDMs using the AvFinity Integrated Router Solution™ (AIRS™) with direct feeds of CDMs that are internalized by the aviation company's software; all AvFinity software is contained on a Cisco blade server within a Cisco Integrated Services Router.
  
• Access to CDMs using either web services or a raw socket with direct feeds that also are internalized by the aviation company's software.
  

Both alternatives eliminate CDM traffic from your legacy provider's character count and extra connection charges. AvFinity's solution, featuring flexible pricing options, helps more aviation companies utilize this unique tool to make air traffic flow more smoothly.
