Dubai is working on a new system that will predict congestion in the UAE AIRSPACE and generate actionable recommendations that could lead to modified flight schedules and reduce flight holding patterns by 40 percent.
To make this possible, Dubai Air Navigation Services (DANS), Emirates Airline and Thales have signed a research agreement (CRA) for research aimed at reducing fuel consumption and supporting the UAE Airspace’s efficient management of the UAE Airspace management.
Holding patterns provide a safe, orderly sequence of landings for aircraft during peak traffic and runway conebion. Airplanes that fly carefully are racetpack-like pieces that are carefully constructed on selected routes to ensure a smooth landing. While this is important for safety and operational performance, reducing their occurrence reduces fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions.
The three partners will work together to research new ways to improve airline management. Central to their efforts will be the integration of advanced AI technology, which will play a very important role in identifying potential areas and providing recommendations.
By incorporating these AI-driven concepts, the collaboration aims to help air traffic controllers and aircraft reduce delays, improve predictability, and increase operational efficiency across the airSpace network across the airSpace network across the airspace network.
The French company, the French Company Thales is known as a Global leader in Digital and ‘Peep Tech’ innovations – big data, connectivity, connectivity and Quantum technology – in defense technology, cyber and space, cyber and digital sectors.
Abdelhafid Moridi, Vice President of Thales in the UAE and Iraq, and CEO of Thales Emarat Technologies, stated: “This cooperation with the new services of Dubai Air Navigation and Emirates Airline will allow us to strengthen the management expertise of UAE AirSpace managers.
“Thales will bring its advanced capabilities in digital technology, vehicle management, to support the UAE’s vision of a more secure, connected and sustainable aviation sector.
Adel Al Redha, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Emirates Airline, said: “This research agreement with Thales and Dans shows the burning of AI to solve operational patterns, but also reduce the burning of fuel related to holding patterns, but also use our efficiency.
“If I’m successful, this solution can benefit other airlines, it’s an answer to a shared problem and an opportunity for development.”
Ibrahim Ahli, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Air Navigation Services, said: “At DANS, improving the efficiency and sustainability of UAE AirSpace operations is a priority that we prioritize every day.
“Our collaboration with Emirates Airline and Thales allows us to obtain advanced AI technology to reduce the development of traffic controllers, airlines, and the aval aval ecosystem by combining real-time data with intelligent predictions.”
