History

The development of AIDX began in 2005 and launched in October 2008 as a combined effort of over 80 airlines, airports and vendors. To date, it consists of 95 distinct data elements, including flight identification, operational times, disruption details, resource requirement, passenger, baggage, fuel and cargo statistics, and aircraft details. [1] The goal of the project was to standardize information exchange and tackle problems of disruption for a variety of use cases.
