Building Better Skies Together

Thales is honored to be a platinum sponsor of Airspace Asia Pacific, taking place from December 9-11, 2025, at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, China.

At this premier event, Thales will showcase its commitment to innovation by presenting new technologies and solutions designed to address the region’s most pressing airspace challenges. These include safely and efficiently managing the rapid growth in air traffic in one of the world’s fastest-expanding aviation markets, overcoming fragmented airspace, supporting the industry's goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and integrating emerging airspace users such as eVTOLs and drones into increasingly congested skies.

Thales leverages digitalization, collaboration, virtualization, and advanced technologies to maximize opportunities for safer, more sustainable, and efficient airspace operations across the Asia Pacific region. During the event, Thales will showcase its state-of-the-art TopSky-ATC and TopSky - Flow Manager systems, alongside TopSky - AstraUTM for unmanned traffic management, and its extensive portfolio of surveillance and navigation aid solutions.

Description:

The ATM community is conservative, and in the Asian context, perhaps even more so. The history and state of technology deployment in ATM speak volumes about the gaps in capabilities. Would ATM ever be innovative in this region? However, the gaps in ATM capabilities are exactly why innovation is most needed. The obstacle to ATM progress may not be in technology but policy. Are we giving sufficient attention to both technological and policy innovations in ATM for the region. How can we do more?
