This sub-message inserts a new Flight Designator or adds new Periods of Operation and/or new Day(s) of Operation (at the Frequency Rate, if stated) for an existing Flight Designator. When used in conjunction with an SKD sub-message, the data contained in the NEW submessage supersedes the data, if any, for the period specified by its associated SKD sub-message.

Change of Existing Information Expressed by the Use of Data Element Identifier Only
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub message changes only those data elements which are specified by the use of a Data Element Identifier.
•Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
•When cancelling existing information the statement ‘NIL’ must be made
•If changes are leg related, replacement data need only be transmitted for legs where the data has changed. For example, in the case of Data Element Identifier 10, it is not necessary to transmit all legs that have Data Element Identifier 10 information, only those legs where DEI 10 needs changing
The format of an SSM ADM message is as follows: Standard Message Identifier |
ADM Example |

SSM |
This sub-message inserts a new Flight Designator or adds new Periods of Operation and/or new Day(s) of Operation (at the Frequency Rate, if stated) for an existing Flight Designator. When used in conjunction with an SKD sub-message, the data contained in the NEW submessage supersedes the data, if any, for the period specified by its associated SKD sub-message.
The format of an ASM NEW message is as follows: Standard Message Identifier |

This sub-message cancels (i.e. declares as not operating), but retains as part of the basic schedule, one or more flights or parts of flight(s) defined by the Flight Identifier(s) (and Flight Leg Change Identifier, if applicable).
It is recommended that the facility to cancel part of a flight (using ASM/CNL with a Flight Leg Change Identifier) is confined to the operational phase of the flight only since a partial cancellation may lead to a Flight Designator duplication problem if the first leg or a middle leg of a flight is cancelled.
Partial cancellations would normally be communicated unambiguously using ASM/RPL.
The format of an ASM CNL message is as follows: Standard Message Identifier |
S-leg dom | Several flights in one message | Different flights and types |
---|---|---|
ASM | ASM | ASM |
This sub-message replaces all information pertaining to an existing flight defined by a Flight Identifier by the new information.
If only specific information has to be replaced, the following Action Identifiers can be used instead of the complete RPL message.
The format of an ASM RPL message is as follows: Standard Message Identifier |
S-leg dom | M-leg dom past midnight | M-leg dom to non-s past midnight and Route change |
---|---|---|
ASM | ASM | ASM |
This sub-message changes only routing information (and its associated data elements) of a flight defined by a Flight Identifier.
The new routing must contain at least one Station from the previous routing. Stations common to both the previous and the new routings must appear in the same sequence.
The new routing, including timings, must be stated for all uncompleted legs of the flight. In order to avoid ambiguity regarding operational flights or flights scheduled to be in the operational phase, the Flight Leg(s) Change Identifier must be used to identify the flight leg(s) to be replaced by the schedule stated in the RRT message. If any of the above rules cannot be met then RPL must be used. For planning purposes, it is recommended that RPL be used.
The format of an ASM RRT message is as follows: Standard Message Identifier |
S-leg dom | M-leg dom past midnight | M-leg dom to non-s past midnight and Route change | Route change skip one airport |
---|---|---|---|
ASM | ASM | ASM | ASM |
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub message changes only the Timing information and/or the conditional data elements (if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.

This sub-message reinstates (i.e. declares as now operating again in the form and with the data in existence prior to the issuance of the last appropriate ASM/CNL messages) one or more flights or parts of the routing defined by Flight Identifier(s) and previously cancelled by an ASM/CNL sub-message. Only flights cancelled within 12 months of operating can be reinstated.
Any subsequent changes to the flight (e.g. routing, times, equipment) must be handled by an appropriate sub-message.
The format of an ASM RIN message is as follows: Standard Message Identifier |
RIN Example |

For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub message changes only those data elements which are specified by the use of a Data Element Identifier.
•Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
•When cancelling existing information the statement ‘NIL’ must be made
•If changes are leg related, replacement data need only be transmitted for legs where the data has changed. For example, in the case of Data Element Identifier 10, it is not necessary to transmit all legs that have Data Element Identifier 10 information, only those legs where DEI 10 needs changing
Note: When using multiple Action Identifiers, all formats for the combinations and, therefore, processing rules, are determined by the primary Action Identifier. Qualifying as secondary Action Identifiers are those that form a subset of the primary Action Identifier. Combinations with conflicting formats are not permitted, e.g. TIM-EQT. The secondary Action Identifier is intended for information purposes only i.e. human reading and understanding of changes.Consequently, the following combinations are permitted:
Primary Secondary
RPL ADM/CON/EQT/RRT/TIM
CON ADM
EQT ADM/CON
RRT ADM/CON/EQT/TIM
TIM ADM

This can be done for example by creating a new flight with the same flight id, but with a suffix. If possible, the SI element should give information about this. | In MAOS, reception of NI times will delete all estimated times for departure. Reception of new estimated times will delete NI times.
