CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2023
Think Global, Collaborate Regional, Accomplish Local – The Sequel
Following the success of the CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2022, we look forward to continuing the conversations in Bali, Indonesia.
Kindly hosted by AirNav Indonesia, the CANSO Asia Pacific Conference 2023 will be held from Tuesday 11 to Thursday 13 July.
Our full programme is still being finalised but will include the usual mix of insightful debate, discussion and conversation you expect from a CANSO Asia Pacific Conference. We have already lined up a fireside chat with a senior ANSP leader, a panel discussion on how regional ATM can be designed to benefit the Asia Pacific, a discussion about culture and talent development, and a look at how we can maximise the impact and benefits of digital technology for air navigation services.
And, of course, alongside all of that will be numerous opportunities for networking at our opening Welcome Reception on 11 July, at our exhibition which will run for the duration of the conference, and during the fascinating host event planned for Thursday afternoon.

10:30-11:00 | Networking Break |
11:00-12:30 | Becoming the Architects of Regional ATM for our Best Interest We know what regional ATM is like in the European ANS scene, but what is regional ATM in the Asia Pacific context? The region is not keeping pace with the desired ANS modernisation programme and, working within our silos, our accomplishment will always be suboptimal. Can we change tack and reframe the issues? How can we make the modernisation process easier for individual ANSP and can local difficulties be addressed by regional solutions? Our interest may be internal, but the solutions are external, and network effects can drive up the value of our ANS service, while economies of scale drive down the costs. We need a fresh consensus on regional ATM for the Asia Pacific and our pannelists of CEOs, Directors General and other senior ANSP representatives and industry representatives will discuss how we can achieve this in the Asia Pacific. Moderator Poh Theen Soh, Director Asia Pacific Affairs, CANSO Panellists Conor Mullan, Managing Director, Think Research Limited Timothy Arel, Chief Operating Officer, FAA ATO Miao Xuan, Deputy Director General, ATMB Blair Cowles, Regional Director, Safety & Flight Operations, IATA Mitchell Fox, Director Asia Pacific Centre for Aviation Safety, Flight Safety Foundation |
12:30-13:30 | Networking Lunch |
13:30-15:00 | Fostering Culture and Talent Development for Innovation We know the importance of innovation but there are inherent challenges. In safety regulation, there is little tolerance for failures. But for innovation, failures are part of the journey. We train our aviation professionals to achieve a high level of predictability, and they strictly follow procedures but, sometimes, such a culture runs counter to innovation. How do we reconcile such contradictions? Innovation is not limited to technology application and one unexplored area for innovation is to find better ways of capability procurement. Can we find cheaper ways to provide ANS? We need people-centric designs to create an innovation-friendly ecosystem. Our panel of CEOs, Directors General, and other senior ANSP representatives and industry representatives will discuss these issues of how to become more innovative. Moderator Christopher Allan, Head of Accounts & Partnerships, NATS Panellists Cheryl Chen, Executive Vice President Asia Pacific, IFATCA Capt. Jaffar Hassan, Executive Vice President Asia & Pacific, IFALPA Peter Jackson, Director, Aviation Studies Institute Sharon Cooke, Chief Executive Airways International Ltd, Airways New Zealand Zainul Abidin Maslan, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, CAA Malaysia |
15:00-15:30 | Networking Break |
15:30-17:00 | Riding the Digitalisation Megatrend to Level Up There is a huge contrast between the degree of digitalisation in ANS and other sectors like banking or e-commerce. Are we missing out on the benefits of digitalisation? Is digitalisation a gamechanger to ANS? ANSPs in the region may not have the right human resource for major digital transformation and may need to work with the ATM technology companies. How can traditional ATM technology companies enable win-win transformation? Digitalisation can open more collaboration opportunities as there are fewer boundaries in digital space and we need to see ANS as a digital business. Join our panel of experts to discuss how to make the most of the digital transformation that surrounds us every day. Moderator Mike Fairbanks, ATM Director, Think Research Limited Panellists Koji Takahashi, Director General, JANS Dr. Nopasit Chakpitak, President, AEROTHAI Benjamin Binet, Vice-President of Strategy, Airspace Mobility Solutions, Thales Markus Klopf, Head of ATM Portfolio and International Affairs, Frequentis AG Mark Skidmore, Chairman, Skykraft |
