Skyway magazine
EUROCONTROL's official magazine, Skyway, has developed into an authoritative voice, tackling the key issues affecting European aviation.
In this issue
In this edition, we focus on how innovation - automated operations, digital services, advanced urban air mobility and artificial intelligence - will impact the future of Europe’s aviation sector in general and air traffic management services in particular.
Top aviation leaders share with us their views on the need to embrace innovation and enhance collaboration to maintain Europe’s competitive edge in aeronautics and ATM - highlighting that innovation and effective collaboration are central to progress.
We also look at how Europe’s airline passengers are driving many of the changes in the industry’s key priorities and at how we can improve their air travel experience and we give the floor to one inspiring voice for the next aviation generation.
Innovation is central to progress
Aviation has always innovated, making huge leaps to become the global industry it is now, with over 10 million flights a year just in Europe.
However, the rate of change is set to accelerate as a response to the major challenges we are now facing, several of which are described in this edition. Sustainability dominates much of the discussion, with the ambitious target of achieving NetZero by 2050 dictating action across the sector: from making ATM much better at enabling fuel-efficient trajectories, to a revolution in the production and supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
