FAQ Answer

What if we report all flights we have on the ATM file?

The CAA’s Flight Data Team (FDT) accepts data submissions as an accurate representation of movements operating to and from a given airport for a specific calendar month. FDT performs some validation on this data but this cannot be guaranteed so, therefore, as data originally submitted by an airport may be published as reported (non-validated), accuracy by suppliers is essential.
