The remainder of this chapter discusses typical airport systems and the problems inherent in trying to integrate data from them, in the following sections: • Research Conclusions, • Disparate Data Sources, • Systems Examination, and • Information System Samples. Research Conclusions During the research for this Handbook, the project team examined lessons learned in various industries, including the aviation industry.

An airport that does not have the budget to replace all the legacy systems should consider an overarching system, such as a data hub that receives only the pertinent data that decisionmakers need. This type of hub does not interfere with the needs and requirements of a functional area system.

One of the many advantages to these direct feeds is the advance flight information provided to an airport for operational and financial planning. A disadvantage of airline feeds is that real-time flight information might not be shared in a timely and accurate manner, because the publicly available information is often censored by an airline.
