In this issue
In this issue, we explore the challenges and benefits of digitising Europe's air traffic management system, from low-altitude airspace to near-space operations.
Top aviation leaders share their insights on what digitalisation means for the European aviation industry. They outline the key steps, challenges and strategies needed to develop a fully digitised ATM system in which cyber-secure data can be seamlessly transferred between all stakeholders, enabling the safest and most environmentally friendly routes for both crewed and uncrewed aircraft.
We also examine how artificial intelligence and digital technologies are transforming air traffic control, while emphasising the crucial role humans play in modernising air traffic management.
Digitalisation: at the heart of ATM transformation
Air Traffic Management, as it exists now, will not be able to handle the traffic in Europe in 2050. By then we are expecting 50% more flights and many new entrants, such as drones, aircraft with new propulsion systems and very high altitude traffic. We also will have to be much more efficient if we are to contribute our share in the drive to Net Zero.
