Global Air Traffic Control (ATC) Market Overview:
Air Traffic Control (ATC) is the use of communication, navigation technology, and monitoring methods to monitor and control aircraft flight activities to ensure flight safety and orderly flight. In the airspace of the flight route, different management airspaces are divided, including route, flight information management area, approach management area, tower management area, waiting for airspace management area, etc. Further, different radar equipment is used according to the management area. In the management airspace, the interval is divided, and the horizontal and vertical intervals between aircraft form the basis of air traffic management. The air traffic management system is composed of navigation equipment, radar system, secondary radar, communication equipment, and ground control center, which completes the monitoring, identification, and guidance of the aircraft in the coverage area.

Growth Driver
Rapid advances in technologies used in ATC systems
At present, people travel more frequently, and planes have become a vital travel choice in people’s lives. With the surge in demand for flying and dense routes, this puts forward higher requirements for air traffic control. The application of artificial intelligence technology based on the original technology, effectively carry out flight flow management, scientifically and rationally divert flights, to avoid aircraft flight conflicts. Also, the application of this technology has improved the efficiency of air traffic control, while also enhancing airport utilization. AI-based Air traffic control help in controlling and defining the air traffic routes through a computer-based intelligent machine to achieve the target standard and adopt time and energy. In the control process, use systems or robots, to meet a professional science that extends the capabilities of human intelligence and other aspects and play a role in the comprehensive application of technology and work efficiency.
New investments in setting up new airports in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East
Around USD 2 billion in infrastructure cost has been set, with delivery in the period 2019 to 2021 in Asia. Also, USD 19 billion costs of infrastructure enhancements at Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok, which will continue to 2023, the USD 5 billion third construction phase at Seoul (2022) and Vietnam’s USD16.3 billion Long Thanh airport (2023). In middle east some large ones are scheduled to finish two years later, such as Kuwait Airport’s expansion project (2023) and additional infrastructure at Dubai World Central is being delivered in a piecemeal fashion through to the end of the next decade.
