"The idea of getting everyone talking and building an ATC platform from the ground up by and for air traffic controllers could be game changing in our profession.
Air traffic controllers are committed to making their industry more efficient and more sustainable but, for that, tools need to be developed with the end-user at the centre so safety, capacity, environmental performance and cost-efficiency can be increased without compromises. The best way to achieve that is with a bottom-up approach, where controllers define and help develop the functionalities they need. This is as close as it can get in the ATM industry to the startup phenomenon we have seen in other industries, where those on the shop floor, with the practical expertise and know-how, have gone on to create revolutionary concepts and ideas which have changed their industry forever."
