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.

Convergence, Collaboration and a common technology platform: Future proofing seamless airport operations

By Steve Hathway, Director, Product Management, Searidge Technologies.Since early 2022, arrivals and departures at Hong Kong International Airport have benefited from the adoption of pioneering digital technology by the airport authority and its partners. In a visionary move, the team at HKIA is engineering a digital transformation that opens up a whole new way of working centered around access to common data, through a single technology platform.

Airport uses secure remote access solution with zero latency for its control and training centers

CHALLENGE In airports, security is critical for the safety of employees and passengers. A safe arrival and departure monitoring service ensures the security from a control tower. Air-traffic controllers in the towers need to know about obstacles from climate and weather changes as well as other planes in the runways and on the outskirts of the runways. In pilot training rooms, a training system server controls airplane simulators. This setup must also be safe, easy to navigate, and error-free for a streamlined workflow.
