2025 Agenda

The UK Airspace Modernization Strategy is an ambitious program to modernize, improve and optimize airspace operations. GE Aerospace and project partner NATS, together with Ryanair and Stansted Airport, are continuing work on an exciting R&D concept project to exploit the aircraft extended arrivals process at capacity-constrained airports. This uses enhanced trajectory prediction and traffic stream optimization during the pre-descent extended arrival phase, and subsequently into the descent phase, aiming to deliver a smooth flow of aircraft into the TMA to meet the target landing rate.

This feeds into broad industry-wide objectives for reducing emissions, noise and delay. In addition, it maps to objectives defined in the UK PCP (SI 2022/211) and EU CP1 regulations. Join us for this session to get an update on the project’s findings and get a glimpse into how sharing critical real time data might lead to one of the industry’s most transformational efficiency developments.
