Cup operations
The innovation on show at Airspace World has once again proved that the future is now for air traffic management.
Air traffic management efforts to accommodate FIFA World Cup traffic have strengthened regional collaboration.
The continued success of SESAR Deployment Manager projects has shaped the evolution of European skies.
Drone operations are beginning to happen at scale and finding common ground in their management is essential.
Ahead of the CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2026, we talked to Nguyen Cong Long, Director General of the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM) about Ho Chi Minh’s new gateway, Long Thanh International Airport, due to open later this year, and the need for human judgement in critical decisions.
As civil-military coordination becomes increasingly critical, ANSPs are developing new tools and procedures to meet changing operational demands.
Data exchange is the key to air navigation service providers handling evolving skies but there are challenges ahead.
The skies above traditional flight levels are getting busier, requiring greater collaboration with air navigation service providers and constant innovation.
