We also speak to William Amoako from the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority about African safety, which is making significant progress even though challenges remain. Safety is an essential element of the Complete Air Traffic System too and our article explains how CATS is being built on the industry’s number one priority.

This will also be a theme at the forthcoming Airspace World event in Geneva and Airspace takes a deep dive into all the content on offer. If it’s important to ATM, it will be discussed at Airspace World!

Sustainability is arguably the hottest topic right now. In this issue, we look at the complex science of contrails. How the industry manages contrail formation will be an important factor in it’s net zero 2050 ambition. We also explore how LVNL and skeyes achieved Level 3 GreenATM accreditation.
