Track / Overview

Civil aviation provides flight services through networked operations provided by several players. In this fascinating industry, many different organizations and businesses work closely together to enable passengers and goods to travel safely and efficiently through the world. The main players involved are airlines, airports, ground handlers, manufacturers, air traffic control centers, government authorities, distributors and various forms of providers ranging from startups to established suppliers. They operate in a very complex and intertwined system in which large amounts of data is gathered and processed to assure a safe, time and cost efficient, reliable and customer-friendly service.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods like Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and others, are starting to influence the industry and are becoming key methodologies in many research projects and new developments. The goal of this track is to give the audience a deep insight into the latest and most advanced applied research projects in the field. The aim is to touch upon the following five core topics from aviation operations throughout the presentations: Flight Operations, Dynamic Pricing, Technics and Flight Safety, Airports and Ground Operations and Air Traffic Management.
