 Avionics                     Next Steps in Integration and Implementation for SESAR and Next-Gen
                              EU and US collaboration in SESAR and Next-Gen aims to harmonise and secure Air Traffic Management (ATM) modernisation efforts as drivers
                              of and in support of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) with the Aviation System Block Upgrade
(ASBU) programme.
Both SESAR and Next-Gen recognise the need to integrate the air and ground parts of their air traffic management systems by addressing efficiency needs of flight trajectories
planning and execution and the seamless sharing of accurate information.
This framework provides a vehicle for the US and Europe to work together towards interoperable standards and in support of efforts towards achievement of ICAO global
Harmonisation. For example, a significant achievement in the NextGen and SESAR collaboration is the delivery of an agreed-upon baseline NextGen/SESAR Joint Avionics
Roadmap.
ICAO estimates that 120 billion US dollars will be spent on air transportation systems transformation in the next 10 years. While the NextGen and SESAR modernisation
programmes account for a large share of this spending in Europe and the US, there are parallel investment initiatives in other regions.

 AIRCRAFT Optimising Connectivity for Maximising Profitability
                              In 2019, the London School of Economics (LSE) reported there were 3.8 billion passengers flying annually with only around 25% of aircraft in the
                              air offering passengers some form of onboard broadband connectivity service. This service is often of variable quality, with patchy coverage, slow
speeds and low data limits.
By 2035, it is likely that IFC will be ubiquitous across the world as aircraft become smarter, fully connected machines, and with the new services being introduced to benefit the
passenger experience, grow revenues for airlines and improve safety. However, to achieve these goals it relies on reliable and seamless connectivity – from the cabin to the
cockpit.
According to Inmarsat the connected aircraft can transmit data in real-time to reveal insights that could transform operations, potentially saving $5.6bn a year in unplanned
maintenance costs. Connectivity enables airlines to bring dramatic, yet cost effective enhancements to the passenger experience – and to take advantage of the new revenue
streams that accompany them.

                             With maximum aircraft utilization a top priority for profitability at the airlines, aircraft are being worked harder than ever. And it is paying off – the
                             airlines are seeing record profits. All well and good until you think about the usage of the asset. With every hour, every cycle, every landing added
to the aircraft, comes the potential for vibration, fatigue, cracking, metal formation in oil, structural degradation and even the eventuality of a catastrophic engine failure like the
one that happened on Southwest Flight 1380 in 2018.
Even with record profits, not a single operator can afford a failure like that. And while the aviation safety record is enviable right now, there is no rest or slacking off in the
inspections and testing of the equipment in operation in our fleets. Inspection and testing equipment technology is making technological leaps and bounds. Keeping up with
those technological leaps is imperative to the safe operation of aircraft that begin aging as soon as they are flown away from the manufacturer.

                            The software that supports flight operations (or ‘Flight Ops’) can mean a myriad things. It can be specific to a pilot’s electronic techlog or flight bag
                            (ETL or EFB) functionality, or it can focus on the wider processes surrounding a flight. For instance, it can be more directed towards crew training,
ground handling, line maintenance or fuel efficiency and management and so on. This is before one considers environmental pressures, operational reliability or efforts or
airlines to decrease turnaround times (TATs).
The extent that an airline will therefore prioritise each element will depend on its operational style, and there is no ‘one stop shop’ or fix-all solution that is the single answer.
Establishing connectivity ‘hubs’ or data platforms are becoming more common and will be one of the approaches explored throughout the Flight Ops IT conference sessions.

  MRO iT                      Maximising IT for Minimising Costs
                          Five years ago, the concept of ‘paperless’ and mobile maintenance formed the buzzwords of our industry. It took time for aviation and its cohort of
                          operators, lessors, regulators, financiers, manufacturers and MRO providers to become more at ease with the disruptive technologies that enabled
a new age of maintenance to gain traction.
Today, we see drones, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, blockchain and predictive maintenance being discussed more and more. While aviation is still undeniably
cautious with new innovations, it is more open to learning how to adapt to them. The MRO IT conference track sessions will encourage forward, proactive thinking in addition
to a focus on establishing tangible and robust business cases. End the experience at a joint-panel session with the Flight Ops IT conference speakers, where we will explore the
most constructive methods to maximise communications and data-sharing between two of the most important departments in an airline.
