CANSO is again partnering with ATM Magazine to deliver the next Air Traffic Management Awards, brought to you by Airspace World. The awards ceremony will take place during Airspace World 2025 in Lisbon.
The awards encourage pioneering concepts and acknowledge significant achievements by leaders, initiatives, and organisations in ATM and UTM.
The awards are open to all ATM, UTM, UAM/AAM, UAS, and C-UAS stakeholders: manufacturers, software developers, research agencies, standards organisations, air navigation service providers, regulators, drone service providers and operating companies, airports, and aircraft operating companies.
The platform for submitting entries will open in January 2025. More information can be found on the Air Traffic Management Magazine website.
Six individual categories and an overall winner will be chosen by a panel of industry experts.
They are driving advancements in technology, automation, and operations to shape the skies of tomorrow. Projects that explore the latest innovations in air traffic management demonstrate how cutting-edge technologies such as digitisation, virtualisation and AI can enhance performance, efficiency, safety, sustainability and capacity in airspace operations.
As we’ve seen from recent world events – regional conflicts and extreme weather have impacted aviation. Projects that support resilience to disruptions and unforeseen events in ATM and maximise operational performance, ensuring both safety and service continuity in extreme circumstances are possible.
“It takes a village.” We’ve all heard this before, but the time is now more than ever for our industry to embrace this concept. This award highlights projects showcasing cross-industry collaboration to drive sustainable, more efficient, and flexible ATM operations.
They are paving the way for the integration and growth of AAM operations. Projects that are now progressing at scale and/or demonstrating real-life operational readiness, including the challenges, opportunities, and regulatory frameworks needed to enable such seamless regional and urban air mobility (UAM).
Drone commercial applications are now beginning to impact our society. Projects that acknowledge and address the impact of commercial drone operations on society and /or the use of airspace include opportunities and challenges of integration and the widespread advancements of drone applications.
Our industry needs to attract and retain new talent to help ensure the future of aviation. Projects that demonstrate successful diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programmes help to identify future talent and skills. This is not only for technology skills but also for a workforce representative of our world, encompassed by a wide variety of views and experiences that will help bring aviation ahead as a desirable industry to work in.
