From augmented reality, to virtual worlds, to digital twins, there are several at, or just over the horizon, applications for digital assets to transform the way we work together. This SkyTalk will take a look at a small part of the potential possibilities for the future that they can bring to r...

A new allocation to AMS(R)S (aeronautical mobile-satellite (route) service) in the aeronautical VHF band (117.975 – 137 MHz) has been approved after a 4-year cycle of intense work at the ITU.
With this new attribution, Startical can make use of the aeronautical band from space so its satellite co...

Explore the transformation potential of AI-driven Digital Twins in aviation. These virtual process replicas not only help optimize terminal operations but also shape infrastructure evolution. Combined with predictive analytics and operations knowledge, we can anticipate bottlenecks and enable pro...

Aviation stakeholders have progressively captured their physical assets in a digital format. This has led to the creation of digital twins and to new opportunities. Manufacturers have taken advantage of the technology and created live digital models of their products, machinery and even their man...

A digital world suggests a dedicated set of policies and regulations that guarantee at least similar levels of consumer protection, ethics, safety and security as in a physical world. In addition, the digitalization of the aviation system poses challenges for a number of Civil Aviation Authoritie...

In our daily lives, we can see how airlines, airports and their customers are linked by a digital relationship. From online flight booking to check-in and the automated boarding process and improved passenger flows to follow-up support via CRM programs, almost everything seems to be digitized. Ai...

The objective of this roundtable was to focus specifically on the needs of start-ups with applications in the aviation system, when it comes to engaging with States and other aviation stakeholders, with a specific focus on Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), Procedures for Air Navigation...
