While European technology is widespread in air traffic management (ATM) worldwide, challengers may leapfrog it, leaders warned at a Eurocontrol conference.
Flight punctuality during Europe’s peak summer season improved significantly this year, according to the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO).
A dramatically different approach to air traffic control first conceived in 2001 has potential to increase airspace capacity and reduce controller workload.
Privatizing the U.S. ATM system would divide people and get in the way of building a new national ATM system, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.
A plan to address ATC system outages at Newark (EWR) will almost certainly reduce the number of flights in and out of the busy New Jersey/New York area airport.
A coalition concept for future airspace calls for integrating automation into safety-critical ATM to meet the demands of an increasingly complex environment.
