Our latest Skyway magazine is now out. This time we look at how artificial intelligence can help improve air traffic control and forecasting accuracy.

In this Autumn-Winter issue, we delve into the role EUROCONTROL can play in more efficient data collection and distribution through our Network Manager's latest investment in AI, our Maastricht UAC's intelligent planning and our continuing dedication to diminishing aviation's impact on the environment through concepts like continuous climb and descent operations (CCO/CDO).

"We need to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and to explore how it can help us in ATM... this edition of Skyway has some very practical examples of what AI actually means for ATM."

Eamonn Brennan Director General EUROCONTROL
