We’ve asked for access to inbound aircraft and gate assignment information from ADM. We have been told that this information was not available for us to integrate at this time. We can ‘screen-scrape’ outbound aircraft and gate assignment from ADM’s website, but without the inbound information, this does not allow us to display the possible service window of a gate (the time between when an aircraft has left it (which we can screen scrape) and the time at which the next aircraft is expected to arrive (which we need API access from ADM to obtain). As soon as the API is made available, we will integrate this information, and create an easy to use User Interface allowing users to see with a simple click what the Service Window is for any given gate. We could also build a full screen gantt type report which would allow SGAT and MTCE users to see all gates in an list, with their status, and their next available service window based on this information. As design session would be required prior to implementing this to ensure that the needs are properly understood before developing screens.
