Technical webinar
Stakeholder forum

As air traffic continues to rise and Europe’s airports face increasing pressure, maximising runway capacity and efficiency has become crucial.

This session provided an exclusive opportunity to hear from leading experts who are actively shaping the future of runway capacity enhancement. We took you inside the real-world deployment of cutting-edge ATC technologies at airports across Europe.

Our panellists guided you through the critical aspects of deploying ATC solutions, focusing on:

  • Decision-making process:
    Discover how airports evaluate and select the right ATC solutions, balancing factors such as operational needs, technical feasibility and future scalability. Learn from real-world examples of their journey from concept to implementation.
  • Chosen solutions:
    What worked, and what didn’t? Our panel will break down the pros and cons of the different solutions selected by each airport, offering a balanced view of what truly drives runway efficiency.
  • Challenges and lessons learned:
    Deploying advanced ATC systems is never without its hurdles. From regulatory hurdles to staff training and technical obstacles, we’ll cover the challenges faced during implementation and share actionable strategies for overcoming them.
  • Observed benefits:
    What impact did these solutions have on runway throughput? Hear from airports that have seen tangible improvements, backed by real-world data and case studies highlighting the measurable benefits and efficiencies gained.
