Singapore to house new air traffic control command center

The centre will allow collaboration between stakeholders to improve air traffic management.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) plans to establish a centralised command centre in Singapore over the next few years to improve air traffic management (ATM).

The command centre enables air traffic controllers (ATCOs) to collaborate with other professionals, including data scientists and meteorological specialists to optimise decision-making in air traffic control.

“Such an arrangement will encourage the exchange of ideas” Amy Khor, Minister of State for Transport, said during the 63rd International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers’ Associations.

Khor also mentioned that the centre will serve as a test bed for developing applications that will further enhance ATM.

Earlier in the year, CAAS set up the International Centre for Aviation Innovation (ICAI) to drive innovation by tapping governments, industries, and research institutes around the world.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
