 What is the difference between all the models and organizations

AIDM

AIDM stands for Airline Industry Data Model. It is an initiative by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to create a standardized framework for aviation data exchange. The goal of AIDM is to provide a common point of reference for industry-agreed vocabulary, data definitions, and business requirements.

AIDX

AIDX stands for Aviation Information Data Exchange. It is a global XML messaging standard used for exchanging flight data between airlines, airports, and third parties. Developed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International (ACI), AIDX aims to improve data quality, support collaborative decision-making (A-CDM), and manage disruptive events more effectively

AIRM

AIRM stands for Air Traffic Management Information Reference Model. It is a comprehensive reference model and system-wide vocabulary designed to promote semantic interoperability within the air traffic management (ATM) community. The AIRM captures and standardizes the information and data exchanged in ATM, ensuring consistent understanding and usage across various stakeholders.

Eurocontrol

EUROCONTROL is a pan-European, civil-military organization dedicated to supporting European aviation. Founded in 1963, it aims to achieve safe and seamless air traffic management across Europe. EUROCONTROL coordinates and plans air traffic control for its 42 member states, working with national authorities, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, and other organizations.

FIXM

FIXM stands for Flight Information Exchange Model. It is an international data standard designed to facilitate the exchange of flight information between different systems and stakeholders in the aviation industry. Developed to support the Flight and Flow Information for a Collaborative Environment (FF-ICE) concept by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), FIXM ensures that flight data is shared consistently and accurately.

IATA

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a global trade association for airlines, founded in 1945. Representing around 340 airlines, which account for over 80% of global air traffic, IATA's mission is to support and advocate for the airline industry through various initiatives and policies.

ICAO

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations, established in 1944. ICAO's primary role is to manage the administration and governance of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), which sets out the principles and arrangements for international air transport.
