Managing cybersecurity risks in ATM in the face of digitalisation

Air Traffic Management (ATM) is undergoing a significant transformation as digital solutions are replacing paper and hard-wired systems. In order to reduce cybersecurity risks in the face of increasing digitalisation, a proactive and systematic approach must be adopted, based on sound risk management principles and practices. The ATM world is undergoing exponential change in terms of digital transformation. There are significant benefits to embracing digital solutions, but operators must also be prepared for the challenges and risks these pose, particularly when it comes to cybersecurity.

Beyond net zero: social sustainability in airspace management

By Alfie Fuller – Think Research Aviation plays a critical role in global connectivity, yet its environmental footprint is undeniable. The industry accounts for approximately 2 to 3% of global CO2 emissions, alongside non-CO2 emissions and a high dependency on fossil fuels, all of which have a negative climate impact. In response, sustainable aviation practices are becoming ever-more prevalent to increase the industry's longevity. Throughout the sector ambitious environmental targets have been set, including: The UK Civil Aviation Authority aims for net zero aviation by 2050, …

Human-centric Recruitment and Training for Air Traffic Controllers

Recruiting and training Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) is a rigorous process involving theory, simulation, and live training. While the digital transformation of Air Traffic Management (ATM) introduces new challenges, it also presents opportunities to enhance the training and recruitment process. The Air Traffic Management (ATM) world is digitally transforming with the adoption of automated, and now Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML), solutions in the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) cabin.

Foundations laid for safe Upper Airspace Operations

If higher airspace is to be used safely and efficiently by aircraft in the future, then a clear understanding of the expected demand – and the procedures that need to be put in place – needs to be articulated.Increased air traffic will likely result in more higher airspace operations in the future. While there are already lots of plans for these types of operations – which would take place above the level of today’s conventional aircraft operations - many of them remain at the early design phase.
