Dubai Air Navigation Services (DANS), Emirates Airline and Thales have signed a Collaborative Research Agreement (CRA) to pioneer cutting-edge research aimed at reducing holding patterns for all flights arriving at Dubai International, supporting more efficient UAE airspace management.
This collaboration for
a safer and more efficient UAE airspace management reinforces the UAE's Net
Zero by 2050 target.
Holding patterns
provide a safe, orderly system to sequence arriving aircraft during peak
traffic and runway congestion.
Aircraft fly carefully
choreographed racetrack-shaped circuits at designated altitudes to ensure
smooth arrivals.
While holding patterns
are essential for safety and operational flow, minimising their occurrence
reduces fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions.
Under this agreement,
the three partners will work together to research innovative ways to optimise
aviation traffic management.
Central to their
efforts will be the integration of advanced AI technologies, which will play a
pivotal role in identifying potential congestion areas and providing
recommendations to stakeholders.
By leveraging these
AI-driven insights, the collaboration aims to help air traffic controllers and
airlines minimise delays, enhance predictability, and boost operational
efficiency throughout the entire airspace network. -TradeArabia News Service
