The CANSO ATM Podcast Episode 16 - Croatia's summer traffic challenge
The CANSO Air Traffic Management Podcast
Croatia has one of the busiest airspaces in Europe – air traffic at the moment is 44 per cent above 2019 levels, which is significantly above what was forecast during COVID. How does Croatia Control, the country’s air navigation services provider, cope with all this activity during the peak summer season? CANSO Europe’s Johnny Pring spoke with Dubravko Meco, the COO of Croatia Control, about the measures which his company is successfully applying in this regard to enable more capacity and fewer delays.

The aviation industry stands at a critical turning point. With growing traffic volumes, increasingly diverse airspace users, and rising environmental expectations, the need for a new, integrated approach to airspace management has never been more urgent. In response, a broad coalition of aviation stakeholders came together in 2021 to form the Complete Air Traffic System (CATS) Global Council. The group has now launched the CATS CONOPS for Future Skies — a strategic vision and operational blueprint to guide the transformation of air traffic management (ATM) through to 2045. In this...

info_outlineCANSO Europe’s Johnny Pring speaks to Urs Lauener, Chief Operating Officer of Swiss ANSP Skyguide, about Virtual Centres and their potential to transform air traffic management. By enabling ANSPs to offer their services independently of location, Virtual Centres should provide greater operational flexibility and ultimately more capacity for airspace users. Skyguide has been a forerunner in this change, and aims to merge the upper levels of its Geneva and Zürich control centres by 2028. Urs talks about his experience so far of implementing this bold concept.
