What is the difference between ZEUS and an AODB?
An AODB is the heart of an airport operation. The main purpose of an AODB is to plan flight operations, store updates to planed and actual flight information in one shared database and make it available to everybody concerned and connected. Amongst other recipients it feeds data to the Flight Information Display System (FIDS) and resource management tools. The purpose of ZEUS is to keep staff at all levels informed, manage daily operation with its exceptions, direct quality (punctuality and processes) and provide feedback about EVERYTHING that is happening or happened at the airport. ZEUS is not only focusing on one aspect; it is responsible for the entire airport efficiency and quality with all resources and stakeholders involved.
