Amy Leete

Amy Leete is ACI EUROPE’s Communications Manager, working at the intersection of aviation, communications, and emerging technology. Alongside her work in European airport communications, Amy is a researcher and specialist in quantum computing, with a particular interest in its application to complex aviation and transport challenges.

Her MSc research at the University of York explored a quantum approach to Air Traffic Flow Management, and exists as Europe’s first use of a quantum computer to optimise real flight data. Amy’s research focuses on the practical application of quantum computing, AI, and advanced optimisation techniques to real-world aviation problems. She is particularly interested in how quantum technologies will develop from emerging capability into practical tools for improving the efficiency, resilience, and adaptability of the aviation system.
