🎉 Happy International Day of AIS - Aeronautical Information Services! 🌍✈️ Today, we celebrate the International Day of Aeronautical Information Services, a special day dedicated to recognizing the contributions of AIS personnel worldwide. AIS personnel plays a crucial role in collecting, managing, and sharing important aeronautical information, ensuring the safety and efficiency of air travel. On May 15th, we commemorate the adoption of the Standards and Recommended Practices for Aeronautical Information Services by the ICAO Council in 1953. This marked a significant milestone in the aviation industry, establishing a framework for the proper handling of aeronautical information. Aviation truly starts with AIS. These dedicated professionals work behind the scenes, tirelessly collecting, managing, and disseminating a wealth of crucial information to pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation stakeholders. Their role is vital in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and reliability of air navigation. This information is the backbone of safe and successful flights. It includes essential details on airports, runways, airways, and more, empowering pilots to make informed decisions, plan routes, and navigate various airspaces with confidence. Let's take this opportunity to appreciate and honor the dedication and hard work of the men and women in the Aeronautical Information Services everywhere. Their commitment to excellence plays a vital role in keeping us safe in the skies. ✈️ Aviation truly starts with the Aeronautical Information Services! ✈️ #InternationalAISDay #AviationStartsWithUs #IAmAIS #May15th #Annex15 #ThankYouAIS #IFAIMA #ICAO #OACI #AviationCommunity #FlightPlanning #FlightChart #AeronauticalInformationManagement #AIS #AIM #NavigationData #AirportOperations #AISDay #WorldAISDay #AviationHeroes #WeFlySafe

During Airspace World 2024, ATTI's Ben Sampson met with both Arndt Schoenemann, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH and Andreas Poetzsch, DFS Aviation Services GmbH who spoke about the services the ANSP provides the ATC sector, how they work with aviation stakeholders and the unique operating environment at the moment. 👀 Watch the interview below 👇 #atm #atc #airtrafficmanagement #airtraffictechnology #ansp #aviationservices #asw2024 #airspaceworld2024

At Airspace World 2024, we had an unprecedented number of ANSPs present. 🙌 In addition, the C-level participation from ANSPs was above expectations and demonstrated the importance of this event globally. As the only place where senior ANSP delegations gather with newer market entrants, innovators and technologists, this event is the catalyst for conversations that actually make a difference. It was particularly significant to see so many discussions this year around embracing, embedding and encouraging uncrewed aviation, UTM, AAM, and so much more. 🫶 ANSP exhibitors included Airways International ┃ Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore ┃ ENAIRE ┃ ENAV ┃ NATS ┃ NAV CANADA┃ skyguide, and TANZANIA CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY(TCAA) to name just a few! 👉 Find out more about exhibiting at Airspace World 2025: https://bit.ly/45gktaf #AviationLeaders #AviationInnovation #FutureOfFlight #AirspaceInnovation #AviationTech #IndustryCatalyst #GlobalAviation

Looking ahead, the 2024 Aviation Events Calendar is packed! ✈ In Q1, the CONNECT Aviation - Route Development Forum starts us off from February 7-9, offering insights for those in route development. Mark your calendars for the Pilot Expo on February 23-24, a key event for recruitment in the aviation sector. Next on the horizon is the Singapore Airshow, a must-attend for aerospace and defense professionals, taking place from February 20-25. Following closely is the Aviation Festival Asia on February 28-29, promising significant developments in aviation tech. As the year unfolds, we have events such as the Aircraft Interiors Expo, Farnborough International Airshow, National Business Aviation Association #EBACE, #BACE, World Aviation Festival, and many more. Balancing attendance at these events will be a challenge, but the good news is that AeroTime will be keeping you informed throughout the year! Which events are you most looking forward to in 2024? #AviationEvents #NetworkingOpportunities #AeroTime

July's OAG aviation webinar will broadcast during Farnborough International Airshow week, where #airlines often announce major aircraft orders, so it's the perfect time to check in with the Middle Eastern aviation market and discuss: 🛬What new aircraft orders are likely to be announced? 🛬Evolving strategic partnerships. 🛬Numerous new route announcements. 🛬Infrastructure developments and increasing capacity. 🛬Are Saudi Arabia’s ambitious #Vision2030 targets set for adjustment?

RISE was launched in 2014 with the goal of conducting 160 flight trials that demonstrate a range of Performance Based Navigation (PBN) such as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) Approach, RNP Arrival, Visual RNAV, and RNP to Instrument Landing System (ILS) procedures.   The most recent achievement was the successful completion of an RNP flight trial in Corfu, Iraklion and Santorini in collaboration with the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) and Swedish airline Novair.    The RISE project is scheduled to continue through September of this year, with more airlines and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) completing similar trials in Greece, France, Cyprus and Portugal. Throughout the trials, pilots and air traffic controllers are providing feedback and capturing data on the procedures in terms of flyability, safety, workload and the reduction in Carbondioxide emissions and fuel consumption.

Collaboration has always been a central principle to advancing aviation. That’s why for a number of years NATS has been actively participating in the Borealis Alliance’s Free Route Airspace Programme. During this time Air Navigation Service Providers from a number of different states (including EU and non-EU) have been working together to maximise the benefits that FRA can bring. https://hubs.la/Q02dsPB20

Pleased to share my latest Daily Memo for Aviation Week Network, the title of which references the recent comment by Cathay Pacific CEO Ronald Lam that he foresees a future “ABC” market for commercial aviation—Airbus, Boeing and Comac—in which “triangular competition” will benefit the industry. Excerpts below: Aviation Week’s forecast shows Comac in a distant third place, delivering 3% of commercial aircraft over the next decade—ahead of Embraer’s 2%. Comac is projected to deliver 332 ARJ21 and 281 C919 narrowbodies. Since Comac’s passenger jets are designed for regional flights of no longer than a few hours, the state-owned firm is eyeing sales opportunities in neighboring Southeast Asia in addition to its massive domestic market. On Feb. 27, Comac said that over the next two weeks it would conduct flying displays of its C919 and ARJ21 jets in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Comac could struggle to break into both the North American and European markets due to the challenges it faces in gaining certification from the FAA and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Luc Tytgat, acting director of the EASA, told Reuters on March 14 that the C919 is “too new for us to know how easy or difficult it will be” to be approved by 2026 as Beijing wants. But as Kristine Liwag, an executive director at Morgan Stanley and head of the investment company’s aerospace and defense equity research group, noted at Aviation Week’s Aero-Engines Americas conference in Miami on Feb. 28 with regards to certification of Comac’s jets in the U.S. and Europe, “there are a lot of places you can go without touching those zones.” If Comac is intent on competing outside of its home market, one issue it will need to address adroitly is the development of support infrastructure and technical support for its jets. Both are currently lacking. The experience of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft’s Superjet could be instructive. During the Singapore Airshow in February, Eaton Industries’ Aerospace Group MD for Asia Pacific Desmond Goh noted that even though the Russian company “could sell the aircraft, they couldn’t support it. That’s why all the airlines and the customers struggled.” #china #comac #aviation #airlines #supplychain #aerospace #boeing #airbus
