Frequently Asked Questions
The market is primarily driven by the rising demand for air travel, modernization of aging air traffic control infrastructure, implementation of satellite-based navigation systems like SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research), and an increasing focus on improving safety and efficiency in air traffic management.
Emerging technologies include satellite-based navigation systems, artificial intelligence for predictive traffic management, data-driven decision support systems, remote and digital control towers, and solutions for integrating drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into controlled airspaces.
Sustainability is a key focus, with efforts to reduce aviation’s carbon footprint by adopting fuel-efficient routing, optimizing airspace usage, and integrating eco-friendly practices. Programs like SESAR’s Green Deal initiatives are instrumental in driving these sustainable practices across Europe.
The growing use of drones and UAVs has necessitated the development of U-space systems for drone traffic management. These systems ensure the safe integration of UAVs into European airspaces, enabling seamless operations without disrupting traditional air traffic. This integration is expected to be a significant growth driver in the coming years.
