The theme for CANSO summit this year was: “Enabling Future Skies: Driving Innovation, Integration, and Collaboration in ATM”
This aligns with the CATS CONOPS vision for Future Skies, emphasising the critical transformations needed in airspace management. It highlights the role of digitalisation, automation, and cross-industry collaboration in shaping a seamless, scalable, and sustainable ATM system.
The Summit focused on:
- Leveraging Digital Transformation – Optimising ATM through real-time data sharing, automation, and AI-driven decision-making
- Integrating New Airspace Users – Enabling seamless operations for AAM, drones, and High-Altitude Operations (HAO) within a harmonised system.
- Strengthening Global Collaboration – Aligning strategies between ANSPs, regulators, and industry partners to drive meaningful progress.
- Building the ATM Workforce of the Future – Addressing talent attraction, skills development, and leadership in an evolving aviation landscape.
