Leading Names & Issues: Conference Programme Preview
Down to Earth - Airports and ATM 

Read more below about Session Two of World ATM Congress' Conference Programme: "Down to Earth - Airports and ATM" and see who is on the panel. Then view the full agenda online. Session Two occurs at 11.15 - 12.30, Tuesday, 8 March

Airports are at the forefront of some significant reforms in the ATM industry. Competition is being introduced at airports in the form of outsourced ATM services in some airport control towers and the introduction of remote tower technology, which digitises what was the last truly analogue part of the ATM process. Over time, there will be even more opportunities for competition to be introduced.

Do airports fully understand how they can add value to their customers through their control towers? What are the barriers to change? Do air navigation service providers (ANSPs) see remote tower technology not only as an opportunity for improved operational efficiency, but also for competitive outsourcing and added value for users? How can A-CDM (Airport - Collaborative Decision Making) best be implemented on a more widespread basis?

Moderator: Olle Sundin, Director General, LFV 
Speakers:
Klaus-Dieter Scheurle, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DFS
Nils Svan, Vice President Strategy, dans
Airport CEO/COO - TBD
Michael Gerry, General Manager, Saab ATM
Moodie Cheikh, Chief Executive Officer, Searidge Technologies
