Category: Air Traffic Management

Air Traffic Management (ATM) refers to the services and processes that ensure the safe and orderly flow of air traffic in the skies and at airports. It encompasses the planning, coordination, and control of air traffic movements to prevent collisions, ensure efficient use of airspace, and facilitate the safe landing and takeoff of aircraft. ATM involves the use of various technologies, such as radar, satellite navigation, and communication systems, to monitor and direct aircraft as they operate within controlled airspace.

ATM is crucial for maintaining aviation safety and efficiency, involving multiple stakeholders including air traffic controllers, pilots, and aviation authorities. It consists of several components, including air traffic control (ATC), airspace management, and the management of flow control measures during peak traffic periods. Overall, ATM aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability of air transport systems worldwide.
