AirportIQ Gate Manager: Smarter Gate Planning for Smoother Airport Operations

Centralized Gate Operations & Visibility

Why Gate Chaos is Still a Problem at Modern Airports

Despite digital transformation elsewhere in aviation, many airports still manage gate and stand assignments manually or with fragmented systems. The consequences?

Aircraft delays and surface congestion
Last-minute gate changes and missed SLAs
Strained coordination between ground crews, operations, and airlines
Billing errors due to poor utilization tracking

These inefficiencies create ripple effects across the airport environment.

AirportIQ Gate Manager solves this with a modern, real-time gate and stand assignment system designed to optimize turnaround times, eliminate conflicts, and support FAA compliance.

From Scheduling to Safety: One Real-Time Gate Management Platform

AirportIQ Gate Manager is a purpose-built tool for centralized control of gate, stand, and aircraft surface operations. It brings together live flight data, surface movement visibility, billing triggers, and rule-based automation — giving operations teams one powerful dashboard for situational awareness and decision-making.

FAQ

How does the system help with irregular operations and diversions?

AGM uses real-time flight data to dynamically adjust gate assignments during irregular operations such as diversions or delays. This helps avoid conflicts, reduces ground congestion, and ensures optimal gate usage even during peak times or disruptions.

What are the scheduling input options supported by TADERA Gate Manager?

AGM supports multiple input types including SSIM (OAG & ADI), SWIM feeds, Excel and CSV uploads, and manual entry. This makes it easy to import and manage flight schedules from different airline and airport systems.

Can TADERA Gate Manager handle gate billing and ERP integration?

Yes. The platform integrates with TADERA's Airport Business and Revenue Manager (ABRM) to support billing for gate usage, cargo stands, and RON (Remain Overnight) parking. ABRM can also connect with ERP systems like Oracle, Workday, and Peoplesoft for seamless financial reporting and invoicing.
