Mexico Opens Air Traffic Flow Management Center Mexico recently opened an ATFM (air traffic flow management) command center to help manage traffic at Cabo San Lucas and Cancun using the FAA's traffic flow management system as its primary resource. Cabo San Lucas and Cancun are popular vacation areas during the winter months, with extremely high volumes of traffic, and the FAA's command center has already coordinated with Mexican authorities to run AFPs (airspace flow programs) into those airports. The implementation of AFP procedures has significantly reduced airborne holding and resulting delays, according to both Mexican and U.S. authorities. In addition, traffic management complexity for the area control centers at Mazatlan, Merida, and Houston has been reduced. Mexico has also added the FAA's FSM (flight schedule monitor) view mode into its system to help traffic managers and CDM (collaborative decision making) participants balance airport demand and capacity, with a common situational awareness. 05-28-2007. |
