2026 Agenda

Air transport demand continues to grow, with aircraft order books at record levels and new entrants adding further complexity to the system. Integrating these operations safely—without compromising the performance of existing airspace users—requires a step change in how we manage airspace. Digitalisation will be a key enabler, but must be implemented globally while remaining adaptable to regional realities.
At the same time, an increasingly volatile geopolitical environment is reshaping airspace. Restrictions, conflicts and shifting alliances are driving significant deviations from optimal routings, placing additional pressure on capacity, efficiency and sustainability. ANSPs must respond dynamically—scaling capacity, enhancing resilience, and accommodating evolving military requirements.
This panel will explore how technology, operational innovation and civil-military collaboration can address these challenges. It will also examine how ANSPs and airspace users can better align priorities to ensure a safe, efficient and resilient airspace system in an increasingly complex global context.
