Air Traffic Management

Better Skies Together

Whether skies are especially busy or not is almost irrelevant when it comes to safety. Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) have a duty to ensure that, from push back to landing, planes can travel safely in their air space at all times. And it is industry’s responsibility to support ANSPs in this critical task. It is its responsibility to not only provide them with Air Traffic Management (ATM) tools that help with traffic optimisation, but also guide them through a constantly evolving industry landscape.

Changing landscapes

The outbreak of Covid 19 has fostered endless debates about the future of the aviation sector. From the sector’s relevance in a more environmentally conscious world, to future traffic flows and adaptability, ANSPs have been, whether directly or indirectly, at the centre of discussions that could well reshape the aviation sector landscape.

Yet while Covid certainly exacerbated these trends, none of it is new.

Adaptability has been a key concern for ATM for quite some time. Beyond the necessity to adapt to traffic flows, far more unpredictable now than ever before, the pace of technological change has also been driving a need for more flexible ATM solutions for a few years.

Increasing concerns about the impact of the aviation sector on the environment have also been pushing for the development of greener aviation. As governments and customers become more demanding, the role of ANSPs in enabling this transition will become crucial.

As sector recovery and development meet in the aftermath of a worldwide crisis, the way in which Air Traffic Control Operators (ATCO) ensure sky safety will undergo significant transformations.

Sky safety - anytime, anywhere, in any circumstance

A trusted partner of the aviation industry worldwide, Thales works closely with its customers to support them in keeping skies safe through:

Air Traffic Control

Boost ATM efficiency through airspace management and optimisation and, as drones progressively fill our skies, be at the forefront of drone management with Thales’ latest solutions.

Navigation Aids

Provide aircraft with accurate data for safe landing and en-route navigation.

Global Surveillance Approach

Establish a network of sensors that collect accurate data for safe navigation through your airspace.

Drone traffic management

With the massive increase in the volume of air traffic, which includes Unmanned Air Vehicles – UAVs, creating a seamless sky for all users, manned and unmanned, has become urgently necessary. ANSPs, airports, cities, the police and drone users need to easily and efficie...

Turnkey ATM Solutions

Establishing efficient and reliable Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems goes beyond sky safety. It is about sovereignty, about ensuring that within their national airspace, governments have the means to guarantee safety and security for a long-term vision. ...
