Airports play a pivotal role in connecting nations, people and economies. Each day, thousands of airplanes take off and land safely worldwide. Air traffic emergencies, whether caused by severe weather, technical malfunctions or human error, continue to pose significant risks. Effective responses to these emergencies are crucial for safeguarding passengers, crew and airport staff.
While airports already have comprehensive emergency protocols in place, the increasing complexity of air traffic and the growth in passenger volumes demand more sophisticated approaches to alerting and managing emergencies. The aviation industry is now looking to more advanced aircraft emergency systems (AES) to enhance safety and efficiency in crisis situations.
