Within the frame of Airspace World 2024 held in Geneva, SESAR Joint Undertaking organized a Walking tour around the main project involved in building the digital european sky. The tour attracted 500 people and offered a great chance for everyone involved to chat with experts from the SESAR community and witness firsthand the diverse array of solutions being delivered and deployed across Europe.

Covering all aspects of air traffic management, the tours delved into airport operations, network operations, air traffic service provision and the enabling technologies such as Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS). From innovation to deployment, participants gained insights into the entire spectrum of air traffic management processes.

One of the highlights of these tours was the introduction of Remote Digital Towers (RDTs), the latest advancement in aviation technology facilitating the remote management of airport traffic. TRUSTY aims to elevate the transparency and comprehensibility of AI-driven decision support within the realm of RDTs. By fostering trust and dependability, TRUSTY seeks to propel the adoption of RDTs and pave the way for a safer and more efficient air traffic management system.

At the event, Christophe Hunter from ENAC explained how TRUSTY is using smart AI technology to make remote digital towers safer and more reliable.

By engaging with key stakeholders as industry experts, regulators, and professionals in the aviation field, TRUSTY enhances its impact and fosters meaningful collaborations. These connections are essential for driving innovation in air traffic management, as they enable the exchange of ideas, expertise, and resources necessary to tackle complex challenges and implement effective solutions.

Moreover, through the tour the participants had the chance to explore vanguard technologies, learned about the latest developments in the field, and network with peers. This collaborative environment fosters creativity, encourages knowledge-sharing, and inspires new ideas, ultimately leading to advancements that benefit the future of the European sky.
