The airport was the first in Northern Europe to have procured the operating method, which is presently in use at around 35 airports in the continent.
The study found CDM to be beneficial for airlines, the airport owner and other companies operating from there, as it can result in an annual saving of up to €4m and also reduce delays and environmental load.
CDM is intended to improve information flow between airport operators and supports their enhanced cooperation for the aircraft arrivals and departures.
The Eurocontrol study assessed performance of the operating technology at Helsinki airport in relation to aircraft delays, operational accuracy, use of resources, and cost-efficiency.
