2025 Agenda

Digitalisation has already transformed many sectors, improving efficiency, connectivity, and decision-making. In air traffic management, similar benefits are increasingly within reach—but only if digital technologies and collaboration evolve together. Rather than being separate enablers, digitalisation and collaboration are mutually reinforcing: digital platforms can make collaboration easier, faster, and more scalable, while effective collaboration helps unlock the full value of digital solutions.
This panel will explore how digital technology can actively support regional collaboration in the Asia-Pacific region. It will begin with an overview of the Regional Collaboration Platform developed by AIR Lab—an open, cloud-based sandbox with built-in tools and representative data that enables multiple stakeholders to test new operational concepts and scenarios in a collaborative environment.
Building on this example, APAC ANSPs will share how they are using the platform in practice, lessons learned so far, and potential new use cases. The discussion will then broaden to examine what other digital tools, platforms, or approaches could further enhance collaboration across the region, and how such initiatives can support more integrated, resilient, and future-ready ATM operations.
