Introducing Competition into Airport Towers: Not Only Possible, Beneficial

Written by Aviation Advocacy on . Posted in Air navigation service providers, Air traffic management, Airports, Competition

Advocates of ATM reform are like trams.  Nothing for a very long time and then they all come at once.  Whilst the ATM Policy Institute was launching its push to put ATM reform on the agenda, COMPARE, a consortium of research institutions (Transport and Mobility, Leuven, NOMMON Madrid, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Slot Consulting Ltd, Hungary) presented a series of studies aimed at promoting competition in the provision of ATM services in the very same city.  At the very same time. The COMPARE studies are supported by funding from SESAR JU.  You can see the benefit of that funding in the fancy name.  It is a rule that all EU funded research projects need first to find a fancy name. The COMPAIR workshop in Madrid presented the current status of their studies, with particular emphasis on the outsourcing of tower services.
