Integrated Air Traffic Flow Management: the Future of Global Aviation Harmonization

This Webinar will help ANSPs, aircraft operators, airport authorities and all other aviation stakeholders understand how Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) and integrated air traffic flow management (I-ATFM) can dramatically reduce fuel burn, emissions, delays and operating costs. Whether volcanic ash, weather systems, airport peak demand, peak seasonal tourism, sporting events or the seemingly unlimited variety of factors that drive demand or capacity, ANSPs continuously face the challenge to safely and efficiently balance airspace and airport capacity. I-ATFM improves predictability from gate-to-gate, ensuring fair and equitable use of all airspace and enabling optimization of curb-to-curb operations. Through the active engagement of system stakeholders across the global aviation community, specific displays, system interfaces and business rules encourage information sharing between active participants, including Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities, aircraft operators, airport authorities and the flying public. The goal is to enable decision making by providing the right information to the right people at the right time. The power of I-ATFM comes from merging more than just data, but combining real-time data and predictive information across multiple domains. Yet, there is a lack of shared industry consensus on the requirements for ATFM. Who can benefit from deploying ATFM solutions? How can ATFM help harmonize global air traffic operations? In what ways can CDM transform the way air traffic is managed in national and regional airspace? How does ATFM provide aircraft operators the ability to optimize their operations and fly their preferred 4D trajectories? This Webinar is developed to answer these questions and introduce important capabilities that hold immeasurable promise for harmonizing air traffic, enabling seamless airspace and accelerating NextGen, SESAR and global ATM benefits. Speakers include: Philip Butterworth-Hayes Editorial Director, ATC Global Dave Rome Global ATM Advisor, Metron Aviation Stuart Ratcliffe Vice President of Global ATM Advisory Services, Metron Aviation George (Joe) Hof Retired, Manager of International Operations at ATC System Command Center, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
