Out now – The CANSO Air Traffic Management Podcast Episode 5: Virtual Centres

18/07/2024

In the latest episode of The CANSO Air Traffic Management Podcast, CANSO Europe’s Johnny Pring speaks to Urs Lauener, Chief Operating Officer of Swiss ANSP Skyguide, about Virtual Centres and their potential to transform air traffic management.

Urs talks about his experience so far of implementing this bold concept.
