In a matter of years, remote tower technology has re-written the rulebook on air traffic control. With a proven return on investment, remote towers offer a possible lifeline for smaller and regional airports struggling to survive during these difficult times, says Florian Guillermet, Executive Director, SESAR Joint Undertaking.
Tout au long de la pandémie, les prestataires de navigation aérienne ont assuré la continuité de service vitale au transport aérien du fret et des passagers. Continuer à préparer l’avenir pour rendre les systèmes plus adaptatifs et résilients face aux fluctuations de trafic, tout en améliorant la performance environnementale de la gestion de l’espace aérien, est déterminant pour l’ensemble du secteur.
The goal of the DYNCAT (Dynamic Configuration Adjustment in the TMA) project is to achieve more efficient aircraft approaches through changes in air traffic management, as well as supporting pilots with current air traffic control requirements and prevailing weather conditions.By the end of 2022, the researchers want to develop proposals for optimising operations both on board aircraft and on the ground.
Air traffic controllers in Germany, Poland, and the U.K. recently validated the feasibility of the use of a virtual center to manage flights in the cross-border style.
Air traffic management is set to become leaner and more efficient, thanks to new digital technologies and enhanced working methods. Benefits could include greater safety and cost savings for airlines and their customers.
