Collaborative data programmes bring key aviation sector players to a single table,  so they can share their views and jointly analyse their data leveraged by new technologies. By bringing together airlines, Air Navigation service providers, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders to collect, analyse, and share data, these initiatives have the potential to drive significant improvements in all aspects of aviation operations.

This collaborative ecosystem of data, organisations and processes for governance and coordination has tremendous potential to drive significant improvements in all aspects of aviation operations. From improving safety to reducing the environmental footprint and increasing efficiency, the objectives of these initiatives are clear and numerous.

Collaborative data programs in the aviation sector offer countless benefits to help drive progress and innovation in the industry. However, these initiatives also come with their own set of challenges that need to be managed for the collaborative platform to work effectively. This document details the most common and important challenges and provides certain recommendations to address them.

This document also divulges some data-sharing initiatives and the benefits of collaborative data programs, which include having a complete and accurate picture, more effective problem-solving, and even increased and democratised innovation.

Finally, ALG shares some lessons from our experience and outlines some of the best practices for effective collaborative data programs in aviation.
