Aviation Data Exchange Initiative

Pre-Workshop Survey

Step 1 of 7

14%

Thank you for participating in the Aviation Data Exchange Initiative. This short survey helps us tailor the workshops to what matters most to your organization and ensures every perspective is reflected in the design of the program.

Your responses are confidential. They will be used by the facilitation team to prepare for your 1:1 interview and to inform workshop design. Individual responses will not be attributed to your organization in any group setting without your permission.

The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.

Background — About you and your organization

Organization Name (dropdown)(Required)

Your name(Required)

Your title / role on the initiative(Required)

Section 1 — Organizational Readiness

1. How would you describe your organization's current approach to sharing operational data with other aviation stakeholders?(Required)

Consider operational situations such as delay management, turnaround coordination, and passenger flow. What operational situations prompt data sharing today, and what challenges do you encounter?

2. Did your organization participate in the Aviation Data Exchange pilot?(Required)

Yes

What worked well in terms of data sharing, and why?

What did not work well in terms of data sharing, and why?

If no: Has your organization been involved in any data sharing arrangements with other aviation partners before?(Required)

Yes

What worked well and what didn’t?

Include examples if possible.

3. On a scale of 1–5, how would you rate your organization’s readiness to share data with other aviation stakeholders within the next 24 months?(Required)

Unsure

1-Not ready

2-Early stages / Need some convincing

3-Moderate readiness

4-Largely ready / A few outstanding questions

5-Ready to proceed

This is a broad sentiment question, we appreciate there are different components to readiness

4. How would you describe your organization's current ability to manage and share operational data with other aviation stakeholders?(Required)

Limited - operational data is managed within individual systems and rarely shared externally

Developing - some processes exist to manage and share operational data, but they are not consistent

Established - operational data is managed consistently and shared with some partners when needed

Advanced - operational data is well managed and regularly shared to support coordination with multiple stakeholders

What considerations or constraints might affect your organization's ability to participate in operational data sharing with other aviation stakeholders?(Required)

Consider factors such as organizational priorities or resources, data governance or policy considerations, concerns about data ownership or usage, and operational processes that may affect data availability.

Section 2 — Operational Challenges and Opportunities for Data Sharing

5. What operational challenges does your organization face today where better data sharing with aviation partners could improve coordination or outcomes?(Required)

Please be as specific as possible — real examples are more useful than general statements.

6. What operational processes or situations could be improved if better information were shared between your organization and its partners?

Think about situations such as disruption management, turnaround coordination, passenger flow, resource planning, or irregular operations.

6.1. What operational processes or situations could benefit from better information sharing from airlines?

6.2. What operational processes or situations could benefit from better information sharing from airports?

6.2. What operational processes or situations could benefit from better information sharing from other airports?

6.3. What operational processes or situations could benefit from better information sharing from NAV CANADA or CATSA?

6.3. What operational processes or situations could benefit from better information sharing from CATSA?

6.3. What operational processes or situations could benefit from better information sharing from NAV CANADA?

7. Please rank the four Phase 1 objectives in order of priority for your organization.

Identifying high-value operational scenarios for data sharing
Defining the minimum data set
Establishing data sharing principles and constraints
Developing a governance and operating model

Use the cursor to drag the Phase 1 objectives, placing the most important at the top of the list and the least important at the bottom.

Please explain why this objective is the most important for your organization and how it could improve operational coordination or passenger experience.(Required)

Section 3 — Data Sharing Considerations and Safeguards

8. Following the kickoff discussion, are there any additional considerations, risks, or conditions that should be addressed for a national data sharing initiative to succeed?

8.1. Are there categories of data that your organization would consider sensitive or that would require special safeguards before being shared?

Broad groups of data types or assets would be sufficient

Section 4 — Governance and Collaboration

9. What types of governance or collaboration models could effectively facilitate data sharing across the aviation ecosystem?

You may wish to consider models such as industry-led coordination, neutral third-party facilitation, public-private partnership, or federated governance approaches.

9.1. What characteristics, safeguards, or principles would be important to ensure trust, neutrality, and fairness in a data sharing governance model?

Examples might include neutrality, transparency in decision-making, balanced stakeholder representation, clear rules around data use, and strong accountability structures.

10. What outcomes would indicate that Phase 1 has been successful for your organization?(Required)

Phase 1 runs approximately three months and is intended to establish a shared understanding of the operational opportunities for data sharing, identify a practical initial set of data that could deliver value, and define a clear path for moving forward as a collaborative initiative.
