The Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) is a specification designed to enable the encoding and the distribution in digital format of the aeronautical information, which has to be provided by the national Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) in accordance with the ICAO Convention.

AIXM was originally developed by EUROCONTROL to meet the needs of the European AIS Database (EAD). The initial version enabled the encoding in digital format of the static data contained in the national Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP). It also enabled the exchange of this data between the national databases and the centralised EAD reference database and further down to the EAD clients.
The new AIXM version 5 is a joint development between EUROCONTROL and the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with support from the international community. The objective is to go beyond the traditional AIP and NOTAM means for aeronautical information dissemination, by delivering an internationally agreed standard which enables the provision of real time aeronautical information in digital format.

This site contains information on the AIXM version 4.5, which is currently used in the regional European AIS Database (EAD), by local systems in the EUROCONTROL Member States and in a number of States worldwide (Canada, Japan, etc.). The site provides:
- an overview of the Conceptual Model and of the AIXM XML Schema;
- a download section, where it is possible to get the main AIXM components;
- information about the further development of AIXM.

Earlier versions of AIXM have been archived in AIM OneSkyTeams Library, available on the EUROCONTROL Extranet. The EAD is providing migration support from the earlier AIXM version 3.3 to version 4.5.
