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.
Eurocontrol predicts the number of flights within its area will increase over 50% by 2050 and achieving net-zero emissions by then will remain “challenging.”
European airlines, trade unions and air traffic control bodies fear that shortages of ATC capacity over the continent will continue for the foreseeable future.
The flight-test campaign marked beginning of an effort to integrate various components of automation into an aircraft to build up to true end-to-end autonomy.
