Latin America Air Traffic Controller Market Size, Trends 2026:

Latin America Air Traffic Control Market is estimated to grow by xx.xx% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027). Air Traffic Control Market in Latin America was estimated at around USD xx. xx million in 2020 is estimated to increase to USD xx. xx million by the year 2026.

The increase in demand for aviation and aerial connectivity in the Latin America region has pressurized the airlines to introduce new routes and increase flight movements, to cater to its increasing demand. This is estimated to generate demand for new Air Traffic Control solutions in the region. The construction of new airports as well as modernization and expansion plans of the existing airports in the region is expected to propel the demand for new ATM infrastructure during the forecast period. The introduction of new air traffic management solutions such as Remote and Virtual Tower (RVT) also as automation and blockchain technologies are expected to simplify the operations of air traffic and navigation service providers, thus creating new market opportunities for the traffic control market in the area.

Recent Developments:

Argentina’s air navigation service provider, EANA is currently improving air traffic control (ATC) infrastructure in the country by integrating performance-based navigation (PBN), implementing 100 percent radar coverage and redesigning the Baires airspace.

In August 2020, the government of Argentina announced its plan to invest 1.4 billion USD to improve the operational efficiency of airports over the next four years.

In December 2020, Leonardo S.p.A. received a USD 224.7 million financings from the ECU Investment Bank to fund investments in technological development. This assisted the company to develop its technological competency, proliferating the market outlook in 2020.

Market Drivers and Restraints:

The demand for better airspace management is growing because of the increase in air passenger traffic and the rise in airport development projects in various regions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented efficient air traffic and airspace control measures. some of the measures implemented for the efficient utilization of airspace include airspace control order, airspace control plan, and airspace coordination area. These measures permit the movement of passengers and air commerce at optimum levels of safety and efficiency and meet the national security needs of the country. in the upcoming 10 years, there will be a huge increase in air passenger traffic, which is predicted to increase delays and congestion in the airspace.

Factors hampering the market include the risk of cybersecurity threats related to data transmission through ATC systems, the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in air traffic management systems has increased rapidly. ICT technology is employed in in-flight aircraft control systems, ATM systems, and internal airport computer systems, augmenting the market growth. Air traffic control systems and their components are connected to the internet, which makes them vulnerable to hacking. Such incidents may cause severe collateral damages, posing challenges to the industry.

Impact of COVID-19 on Latin America Air Traffic Controller Market:

The Coronavirus outbreak has impacted the aviation industry adversely due to aviation restrictions on domestic as well as international flights across countries, leading to a sudden decrease within air traffic. There was a 32.1% drop in year-on-year international demand in July, down from a 28.6% decline in June in the Latin American carriers. International capacity decreased by 44.5 per cent. The drop in both capacity and demand was the most severe of all the regions. The COVID-19 crisis is especially challenging at the moment for airlines based in Latin America due to strict lockdown measures. During July 2020, the air cargo market of Latin American was smaller than the African market for the first time since these statistics have been reported in 1990.

Regional Analysis:

The Air Traffic Control Market of Latin America is segmented based on geography as

  • Brazil
  • Argentina
  • Colombia
  • Chile 

Across Latin America and the Caribbean demand in Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPK) fell by 87.5% in July 2020 year-on-year, with capacity (Available Seat Kilometres) dropping by 83.2%. load factor hit 63.1%, once again an indication that there is demand for travel in the market (global average load factor is 57.9% in July 2020). Passenger traffic on Latin American and Caribbean airlines has witnessed a decline of about 96% in April. Although Brazil, Chile and Mexico saw limited operations in April, they still showed traffic (RPK) reductions of over 90%. Air connectivity and its related benefits around the area are at risk. This has already directly impacted businesses from family-run enterprises to large corporations along with the entire travel and tourism value chain, as well as industries depending on air cargo for their imports and exports.

Key Players:

Thales has confirmed its strong leadership in Latin America by delivering over 170 radars and 25 air traffic Control Centres across Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Uruguay, as well as navigation ais (Navaids) to almost all countries in the region. Thales is the leader in the air traffic domain in Brazil (70% of the radars operating in the country)

Some of the key players in Latin American Air Traffic Control Market include Raytheon Technologies Corporation, SITA, Thales Group, Northrop Grumman Corporation, etc.
