PDC Airport Management Solution
PDC AirportSuite offers a broad suite of operational systems and resource scheduling applications that help airports streamline and automate their processes
PDC AirportSuite - Airport Management Solutions
PDC AirportSuite is a comprehensive set of interoperable airport management solutions that can be used individually or together to efficiently consolidate data and deliver a structured and seamless operational overview.
With seamless integration at its core, PDC ensures that all system integrations continue to work reliably — even after upgrades, platform changes, or new implementations. This means you can:
- Avoid costly disruptions
- Reduce internal IT complexity
- Stay focused on operations — not system maintenance
As a robust and seamlessly integrated Airport Management Solution, the suite acts as the central information hub for all airport stakeholders, ensuring a unified operational overview. It also interfaces with third-party systems to complement the existing system landscape.
How to select the right Airport Management Software?
Selecting the right Airport Management Software (AMS) requires a focus on core operational needs and technical capability. To begin with, we recommend centering the solution around a robust Airport Operational Database (AODB) that integrates essential modules such as Resource Management System (RMS) to optimise stands and gates. In addition, it should support modern practices like Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM). Finally, it is crucial that the chosen solution offers high scalability and seamless integration via APIs with existing systems.
Why Select PDC's Airport Management Software?
Leveraging over 40 years of global experience, the PDC AirportSuite uses powerful AI and dataflow automation to minimise manual input, increase data quality, and elevate overall operational performance, making it the ideal choice for airports.
Can I manage multiple airports from PDC AirlineSuite?
Yes. The core component, PDC AODB, is designed to run in multi-airport mode, allowing operators to centralise and automate the operations of multiple independent airports or a family of airports from a single, cost-effective system.
What does PDC Airport Management Solutions include?
PDC AirportSuite includes the following airport management solutions:
- AODB (Airport Operational Database)
Our AODB covers all aspects of airport operations. Collect and consolidate your information from a multitude of sources into a common overall operational picture. You can run PDC AODB in multi airport mode, serving independent airports or a group of airports. - A-CDM (Airport Collaborative Decision Making)
Our A-CDM demonstrates a commitment to operational excellence, making your airport more attractive for airline partnerships and potential new routes. - FIDS (Flight Information Display)
Customise your Flight Information Display completely taking immediate effect on the monitors. - PAS (Passenger Announcement Systems)
Automate passenger and flight announcements in the airport. PDC PAS reacts immediately to any change in the underlying real time data. - Resource Management (RMS)
Schedule and manage your airport stands, gates and lounge resources – both long-term planning and on day of operation. - Airport Operations Management (GroundPlan)
Manage your Staff and Ground Support Equipment using an all-in-one airport resource planning, execution, and follow-up solution. The solution solves the complexity of handling, e.g. aircraft/timetable changes, real-time movements, and disruptions. - Billing
We understand that accurate invoicing data is essential for your airport operations. PDC Billing eliminates data inconsistencies, improves invoice quality.
Are there options for cloud-based deployment versus on-premises?
All solutions from PDC AirportSuite are offered either as on-premises solutions or as software-as-a-service.
