SESAR Walking Tours 2026 - Walking Tour 1 - Tuesday 26 May
TUESDAY 26 MAY 9:30-10:50
Tour 1: TBO - trajectory-based tactical operations
This walking tour showcases how trajectory-based operations are transforming the way aircraft are managed across Europe’s skies. Discover cutting-edge solutions that allow controllers and aircraft to share a common trajectory picture, anticipate conflicts earlier, and optimise routes even in complex situations such as adverse weather. Through live demonstrations and operational prototypes, experience how advanced automation, data sharing, and AI-supported tools are helping to increase capacity, reduce workload, and deliver safer, more efficient and more sustainable air traffic management.
