CANSO Academy: Virtual Community Outreach during COVID-19
This CANSO Academy session looked at how to implement ATM best practice and conduct responsible operations during the restart and recovery of aviation.
While the recent reduction of global air traffic has challenged the industry, it has also provided aviation the opportunity to work on optimising operations and improve performance while traffic is low. Join CANSO Academy experts to find out how.
Optimising operations
CANSO and industry partners are taking steps to provide airspace users with more flexibility and efficient route options. This includes leveraging industry practice like performance based navigation (PBN) to facilitate optimum flight paths, and deliver environmental and economic benefits by reducing fuel burn and costs.
Improving performance
As the industry focuses on recovery, restarting operations efficiently, sustainably, and in partnership with all stakeholders, is key – whether that’s managing emissions or noise. Communities living close to airports are currently experiencing quieter skies, but when aviation activity levels increase, noise could be more noticeable. This is therefore an good moment to have conversations about noise, particularly via virtual platforms, and connect industry and citizens for a socially and environmentally responsible recovery.
