Airports are becoming smarter, more connected and increasingly data driven. This walking tour explores how AI, digital assistants and advanced decision-support tools are transforming airport operations — from surface movements and turnaround management to network coordination. Through demonstrations and real validation results, discover how these innovations aim to improve punctuality, optimise capacity and enhance the efficiency of Europe’s airport ecosystem.

As Europe accelerates its journey toward a smarter, more sustainable and more interoperable air traffic management system, the implementation of Common Project 1 (CP1) stands at a decisive moment.
In this session, the SESAR Deployment Manager will unpack how CP1 deployment is already shaping operational performance across the continent—enhancing predictability, supporting greener trajectories, and reinforcing network resilience—while offering a forward-looking view of what comes next.
This session will give ATM professionals a clear, compelling picture of the tangible value CP1 brings to European aviation. Attendees will gain insights into lessons learned, opportunities emerging from synchronised implementation, and the strategic role CP1 plays in Europe’s broader digitalisation and decarbonisation ambitions.
Designed to spark dialogue and prepare the ground for deeper exchanges throughout Airspace World 2026, this session provides an essential update for anyone involved in shaping the future of European ATM.
