Air traffic management (ATM) leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region have gathered in Goa for CANSO’s Asia Pacific Conference 2022 (APAC). Hosted by the Airports Authority of India(AAI), the conference will run from November 1 to 3 under the theme “Think Global, Collaborate Regional, Accomplish Local.”
The even which is happening in Panjim will see several important meetings that will deliberate on air safety and other important aspects of aviation.
Building on the Complete Air Traffic System Global Council’s vision for the skies of 2045, the CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2022 has brought together around 200 senior air traffic management delegates from the region and beyond for three days of networking, debate, analysis and insight.
With air travel recovering, it is now time to look beyond Covid-19 and to the future.
The Global Council for Complete Air Traffic System (CATS) was initiated by CANSO to formulate the vision of the future skies.
Building on that CATS vision, Asia Pacific ANSPs can step up collaboration to realise our potential in a cost-effective manner. The CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2022 will be the start of that exciting process, and tackle such crucial subjects as regional collaboration, sustainability, and embracing and exploiting technology.
Poh Theen Soh, Director Asia Pacific Affairs, CANSO, had earlier said he was hopeful that the conference will be the start of an exciting process in which ANSPs and other CANSO members in the region will come together and tackle crucial subjects relating to the aviation sector.
"If we do that, then we can really say we are starting the process of delivering the future skies of the Asia Pacific,” he said.
The bulk of the conference is made up of three panel sessions, looking at regional collaboration for future air navigation services, sustainable air traffic management, and the technology dilemma.
High-profile speakers from across the region will take part in the discussions, including ANSP CEOs and Directors General. These include Polana Banguningsih Pramesti, President Director, AirNav Indonesia, Kudo Takashi, Director General, Japan Air Navigation Service (JANS), Ted Pakii, CEO, NiuSky Pacific and Sharon Cooke, Chief Executive Airways International Ltd, Airways New Zealand.
