• A step towards a digital revolution in air traffic control
  The remote digital tower at Leipzig Airport The aviation industry is currently facing extreme growth in air traffic. In European airspace, for example, 33,000 flights per day are being recorded on average. According to EUROCONTROL, there will be almost twice as many flights by 2030. The tasks of the players involved in the complex aviation system will become even more demanding. More digitalisation is one answer to cope with this growth. The German air navigation service provider, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, has completed an important milestone with remote tower control; learning some important lessons along the way. Prof. Klaus-Dieter Scheurle, Chairman of the DFS Board of Managing Directors, reveals the fruits of this work.

  Ports of Jersey has been following remote tower technology for many years, having recognised very early on that this would revolutionise the future provision of air traffic control services. Recently appointed Jersey Airport Director, Inez Bartolo, explains some of the reasons behind the company’s decision to pursue remote tower technology, why she believes it could revolutionise the future and the impact it’s had on the airport’s air traffic controllers.
• Next generation connectivity
  As remote tower technology continues to develop, the idea of centralised multiple single remote towers is gaining traction. Csaba Gergely, Senior Air Traffic Management Advisor and Daniel Mcleod, Key Account Manager at HungaroControl, discuss how this concept is fast becoming a reality.
