An introduction to our conference
As of July 20241, air navigation service providers (ANSPs) have safely managed 39 million flights worldwide, marking a 5.8 per cent increase from the same period in 2023.
The CANSO ATM Traffic Analysis Report for the first quarter of 20242 noted a 17.7 per cent rise in flight hours compared to the same quarter of 2023. Year-on-year studies show escalating volumes in the skies, underscoring the swift expansion of the aviation industry, which is anticipated to maintain its upward trajectory. Projections also suggest that air travel demand will grow by an average of 4.3 per cent annually over the next 20 years, with expected annual increases of 3.8 per cent in Latin America and the Caribbean3.
As strong air traffic trends emerge and new entrants integrate into our airspace, these developments, among other groundbreaking initiatives, present an opportunity to focus on, and improve, our leadership abilities and operational models. This will enable us to manage new environments, adopt new ideas, use new technologies, increase data exchange, and train the new ANSP workforce to handle digitalisation, among other things. We must also prepare for future technologies that do not yet exist, all while upholding the utmost level of safety.
The CANSO Latin America and Caribbean Conference 2024 started with a CEO dialogue on the future of Latin American and Caribbean skies, examining the measures ANSPs are implementing to manage the surge in air traffic sustainably and environmentally consciously, and their strategies for the future. It highlighted the growth in data exchange to boost operational efficiency, innovative approaches for recruiting air navigation professionals, and their plan to elevate safety standards.
