CANSO in Asia Pacific
The Asia Pacific region is the world’s largest aviation market with one of the highest growth rates in the world. Faced with the challenges of rapid growth in air traffic, the CANSO Asia Pacific region was established in 2008 with a vision of a safe, seamless and harmonised airspace across the region.
Efforts to transform ATM performance in the region are focused on increasing collaboration across borders to maximise the opportunities presented by technology advances, especially in the areas of digitalisation, virtualisation and the management of new airspace users.
- The producer of Airspace World, CANSO is the sole truly global voice of airspace and its ANSP members support 90 per cent of the world’s airspace, while its associate members are at the forefront of developing the technology that will drive the integration of manned and unmanned flight.
- CANSO’s significance as the global voice of airspace is illustrated by its official observer status at ICAO and its participation in ICAO’s panels and other activities, and by its membership of NATO’s Aviation Committee.
- CANSO was the instigator and creator of the Complete Air Traffic System’s Global Council – an independent innovation forum for leaders across the entire aviation industry to create and align on a unifying blueprint for our future skies.
- The CATS Global Council’s aim is to facilitate greater collaboration among leaders across the aviation and aerospace industries: ANSPs, UTM service providers, aircraft manufacturers, drone operators and manufacturers, high-tech companies, airlines, airports, regulatory authorities, space agencies and research bodies to shape future skies.
- In 2021, the CATS Global Council published its vision for the skies of 2045. In 2022, the Council set out a pathway to get there with a roadmap of long-term goals, actions and milestones to deliver its vision. Airspace Asia Pacific will play a key part in delivering that vision.
