The A-CDM system cooperating with Macau International Airport has been basically completed and is under testing and trial stage. The A-CDM system allows the entire business flow to be visualized, and continuously tracks the aircraft conditions and flight operations that need to be paid attention to; realizes accurate prediction of ETA, TOBT and so on, acheives evaluation systems such as delay reasons and guarantee process evaluation, and launches modules of departure sequencing, coordination releasing and push back sequencing, handling of large-scale flight delays, and dynamic adjustment of flight plans.

Mr. Zheng Hongfeng believes that the emergence of any new technology will be promoted around the core value of the industry. By improving efficiency through new technology, the time to implement physical connection will be shortened eventually, the improvement of the level of "average wisdom" can hence reduce the cost of wisdom realization. MIA can, according to the need of in-depth research, follow the scientific and technological recommendation given by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and new scientific and technological trends, formulate and promote the smart plan of the core airport, ascertain the solutions of key needs and positioning tactics, build data platform and smart application, monitor and improve the data, and give feedback according to the inspection effect.
