AODB - Airport Operational Data Base

Airport Operational Database (AODB)

Transform disconnected flight data into a single, authoritative source of truth. Aerosimple's AODB gives operations teams a live flight board, intelligent estimates, automated billing, and performance reporting — all in one purpose-built platform.

Key Features

• Live flight board with automatic 30-second refresh, showing scheduled, estimated, and actual times with colour-coded drift indicators

• Multi-source estimate engine that layers manual entries, ACARS, ADS-B, SWIM, and OAG feeds — always surfacing the best available estimate

• SSIM schedule importer with a two-step upload-preview-commit workflow for error-free airline schedule ingestion

• Manual estimate and delay logging with IATA delay codes, AI-generated code suggestions, and full audit history per flight

• Automated charge computation across landing, parking, and aerobridge rate rules — idempotent and safe to re-run

• End-to-end invoice workflow from draft to issued, paid, or voided, with per-airline CSV export

• On-time performance reporting with configurable windows and thresholds, plus a delay code histogram

• Passenger-facing FIDS feed view, ready to project on public departure and arrival monitors

• Three-day rolling Gantt view for airline density analysis and bank pressure identification

• Resource registry and assignment scheduling for check-in counters, baggage belts, and aerobridges

Benefits

Eliminate fragmented spreadsheets and radio-based estimates by giving every shift a single live screen that reflects ground truth as it happens. Operations staff spend less time chasing data and more time acting on it — the Flight Board, Gantt, and Dashboard are designed to be pinned open and read at a glance, even during high-tempo banks.

Automated charge computation and a structured invoice workflow reduce billing cycle times and manual reconciliation errors. Rate rules are fully configurable, so your finance team can reflect the exact landing, parking, and aerobridge agreements in place without relying on external spreadsheets.

OTP reporting and delay analytics give station managers and airline partners a shared, objective view of performance — backed by exportable data that feeds directly into airline SLA reviews and regulatory submissions.

Integrations

AODB is natively connected to Gate Management — flight movements and gate allocations share a common timeline, so turnaround risk indicators on the Flight Board reflect gate status in real time. Resource assignments for belts, bridges, and counters made inside AODB are immediately visible in the Gate Management Gantt and Today views.

Schedule data imported via SSIM flows directly into gate allocation workflows, eliminating double-entry when an airline submits both a schedule file and an operational plan. Charge data connects to the Exceptions ledger in Gate Management, giving the billing team a complete picture of both standard charges and override-based exceptions in one export.
