What’s on offer
Welcome to the first edition of Airspace Magazine for 2026!
Safety is the foundation that enables every innovation in aviation. In a period of rapid change, the air traffic management (ATM) community is focused on ensuring that new technologies, new entrants and new operational demands are introduced without compromising the world’s safest mode of transport.
This edition of Airspace magazine looks at what that means in real terms as airspace becomes more complex. We explore the safe integration of drones into controlled airspace and the growing impact of increasing space launches, alongside the industry’s shift toward more proactive, risk-based safety management.
We bring together perspectives from across the global ATM community on how safety is evolving in practice. Inside, you’ll find stories about how fatigue is being managed differently, how safety ideas move from paper into operations, and how the CATS CONOPS is gradually becoming something real.
Read on to discover how the ATM community is strengthening safety.

Taking the fast track to safety
Simon Hocquard, CANSO’s President & CEO, emphasises that there is no aspect of stakeholder work that does not have safety at its heart.
Understanding fatigue in a complex environment
A fatigue risk management system must move beyond compliance-based duty limits to a risk-based mindset. It will then become an enabler rather than a constraint, helping ANSPs balance safety and efficiency as traffic grows.
Turning strategy into action
Nicki Harricharan, CANSO’s Operations Programme Manager, details the drive to turn ideas into reality at the recent CANSO Operations Standing Committee (OSC) Connect 2026.
