Senior Advisor Airport Performance
My educational background is from IT, computer science with human user aspects, which then lead to 12 years of experience within the airport and aerospace sector. I have a good mix of technical and operational knowledge to see current limitations, future solutions and everything in between.
I strongly believe that a holistic approach and transparency between silos, systems and stakeholders can help the industry to see where they are today, and an active approach towards existing challenges can help them go where they need to go in order to manage existing and upcoming challenges in traffic constrains and profitability.

The market trend towards modernizing ATCO working positions through ATC system and display integration is a growing topic in the industry. With multiple numbers of screens, mimic panels and other input devices cluttering and even complicating their work, the air traffic controllers are forced to create a mental image of the total situation on the airfield, despite the multitude of tools on the Air Traffic Control (ATC) console. Today, the market is realizing there is a better way that has significant advantages. Continue reading

Since the early days of aviation, air traffic controllers (ATCO) have suffered from a high number of screens, mimic panels and multiple input devices. The controller is forced to create a mental image of the total situation on the airfield and take appropriate action based on this mental image. With thousands of flights each day this is a very challenging task and the controller will not always be able to make the most optimal decision.
Today’s Airports contain a complex network of stakeholders. Often these stakeholders have efficient management and communication strategies within their respective departments. However, inefficiencies that hamper productivity and performance can be created when these stakeholders interface with other departments and external organisations. If a holistic approach is to be implemented, a philosophy of One Airport – One Process needs to be adopted.

If a holistic approach is to be implemented, a philosophy of “One Airport – One Process” needs to be adopted.
Many of today’s airports were constructed and put into operation during the 1960s and 1970s, in a period when jet aircraft were only just being introduced and air travel was booming. The usual way to increase capacity is to look into the construction of additional infrastructure. However, quite often the existing infrastructure is used in an inefficient way and contains hidden and unused capacity. Airports can increase capacity and reduce aircraft fuel burn through the efficient use of airfield ground lighting and advanced visual docking guidance systems.
