Flight Information Exchange Model

The Flight Information Exchange Model (FIXM) is a data interchange format for sharing information about flights throughout their lifecycle. FIXM is part of a family of technology independent, harmonized and interoperable information exchange models designed to cover the information needs of Air Traffic Management.

FIXM is developed in close cooperation with all the stakeholders. This website is designed to be a nexus of information and a sounding board for all interested parties.

The draft version of the FIXM specification (FIXM v1.0) is currently undergoing internal review. It will be available in the "Documents" section soon.

This conference will provide a forum to discuss and exchange concepts and practices related to major global changes in aeronautical information (including exchange structures), information services, and other information sharing related topics to the rapidly growing AIM community.

Informational and technical presentations from key participants will provide opportunities for NextGen and SESAR developers and air transportation information experts to share global programs and initiatives.

The Conference is sponsored by the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization, Mission Support Services, Aeronautical Information Management office, and in cooperation with EUROCONTROL and other ATO organizations. Our combined missions are to manage the information necessary to ensure the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation.
