Real-time planning for more punctual and efficient airport operations
Nice, Hamburg and Budapest. Three European airports with very distinct operational characteristics and challenges. But over the last three years, these three airports have acted as demonstrator sites to showcase the potential of tech solutions developed within the framework of the SESAR research and innovation programme. In this article, Steffen Loth, Project Manager of Integrated Airport Operations, a SESAR Joint Undertaking very-large scale demonstration, explains how this can pave the way for the implementation of solutions capable of improving airside operations at airports in Europe.
Time Europe’s airports start preparing for implementation of new ICAO methodology for better reporting runway surface conditions
The new ICAO methodology for assessing and reporting runway surface conditions, known as the new Global Reporting Format (GRF) for Runway Surface Conditions, will be applicable on 5 November 2020. This implementation is expected to reduce the risk of runway excursions since the GRF improves the accuracy and timeliness of runway condition assessment and harmonises this information globally.
