According to Definitions in Article 2(1) and (10) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky, air traffic control (ATC) means a service provided for the purpose of preventing collisions, and expediting and maintaining an orderly flow of air traffic; whilst air traffic management (ATM) means the aggregation of the airborne and ground-based functions required to ensure the safe and efficient movement of aircraft during all phases of operations.
Both are two vital sectors within the aviation industry – all management of arriving and departing aircraft is of course essential for the safety of both passengers and staff.
Furthermore, ATC/ATM has the potential to assist in increasing an airport’s capacity, therefore enhancing revenue generation and traffic growth. By processing flights more efficiently, an airport could increase its output; greatly enhancing its future potential.
Of course this cannot come at a cost to safety, so within this core topic International Airport Review details how airports, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), airport operators and airport authorities are balancing the need for stringent safety policies with the want to increase capacity, using new technologies, automation, updated regulations and revised management systems.
For International Airport Review, Data Scientists at EUROCONTROL analysed recent studies, such as EUROCONTROL’s Challenges of Growth, to offer a glimpse into how data can be used in the future of ATC/ATM.
The new report considers how the UK is already working towards commercial drone development and what is yet to be done to further the current efforts.
By safely integrating drones into the airspace with support from aviation associations, commercial drone services have the opportunity to thrive.
With the publication of the new airspace and the practical completion of construction, Brisbane Airport is officially ready for the new runway to operate.
RC Raman, Manager of Airport Safety and Operations at ACI World, provides an overview on the evolution of remote digital towers.
With air traffic control on the cusp of a digital revolution involving remote towers, Jersey Airport’s Air Traffic Controller, Peter Moore, explains how the airport overcame some of the challenges involved, including the use of eye-tracking technology.

IAR’s next COVID-19 briefing is confirmed for 7 May 13:00 BST. The speaker will be Iacopo Prissinotti, Director of Network Management at EUROCONTROL.
Artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning and augmented reality are key enabling technologies for Leonardo's innovative approach to air traffic management (ATM).
Addressing the impacts of COVID-19, how airports are finding silver linings during the crisis, and topics such as social media, baggage handling, sustainability and airside operations, this issue is packed full with imperative industry advice.
Following EUROCONTROL securing a loan of £1.1 billion for European ANSPs, NATS will be eligible for up to £92 million in COVID-19 support.
The air traffic control at St Athan Airport, which became a civilian aerodrome in 2019 and is operated by Cardiff Airport, will now be provided by NATS.
Tara Nolan spoke to Simon Hocquard, Director General of CANSO, to discuss how COVID-19 is affecting the air traffic management sector of aviation.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, CANSO has called for immediate action to maintain the stability of the entire aviation system, particularly ANSPs.
Despite the issues currently limiting the growth of the aviation industry across the globe, HungaroControl remains persistent in its innovative efforts.
The report finds that more needs to be done to harness the full potential of AI to ensure the breakthrough required for this technology in ATM.
