Core Viewpoint - The collaboration between the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department and Thales has successfully deployed an innovative approach spacing tool (AST) that optimizes aircraft approach intervals, leading to more efficient and sustainable air traffic management [1][3]. Group 1: Benefits of the Approach Spacing Tool - The AST is expected to reduce fuel consumption by over 16,500 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 52,000 tons annually [4]. - The tool enhances airport capacity by increasing runway throughput, improves safety through precise arrival sequencing, and reduces environmental impact by optimizing approach trajectories [3][4]. - The deployment of the AST has been recognized with the CANSO 2023 Air Traffic Management Award in the "Green Sky" category, highlighting its contribution to sustainable aviation [4]. Group 2: Integration and Functionality - The AST has been fully integrated with Thales' TopSky-ATC air traffic control solution, supporting air navigation service providers globally [3]. - It calculates optimal intervals for aircraft during the descent phase based on real-time factors such as weather conditions, aircraft performance, and runway capacity [3]. - The graphical interface provided by the tool allows air traffic controllers to monitor each aircraft's position relative to its ideal flight path, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in flight sequencing [3]. Group 3: Commitment to Sustainability - The Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department emphasizes environmental protection in all aspects of aviation services and operations, aiming to build a safe, efficient, and sustainable air transport system [4]. - Thales is committed to redefining the future of aviation by developing technologies that enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in air travel [5][6].
