SkyRoster at World ATM Congress 2021

Pandemic-era planning, qualification requirements and alternative rosters shaped the conversations in Madrid. JLG Consulting attended World ATM Congress 2021 to present SkyRoster and meet ANSPs and other ATM organisations.

The event brought discussions about pandemic-era rostering, maintaining qualification requirements during low traffic and the evaluation of alternative planning processes.

Technology discussions

The team attended demonstrations covering remote towers and air traffic management. Examples discussed in the original report included Indra’s digital remote tower and ENAIRE’s PLANEA platform.

These were technologies and plans discussed at the 2021 event, not a statement of their current availability or deployment status.

SkyRoster demonstrations

Meetings with representatives of South-East European ANSPs covered product demonstrations and possible evaluations. One operations director who had been testing SkyRoster since 2020 reviewed the version under development at the time.

An online meeting with an ATM planning manager from Central America also discussed access to the cloud platform for performance testing.

Potential collaborations

A Netherlands-based consultancy explored whether roster simulations could support a fatigue and stress research project. A UK consultancy discussed a possible application for controllers working in remote towers.

The team also met an ATM market-intelligence company to discuss sales-network cooperation. These were prospective discussions reported in 2021; the article does not establish that each led to a deployment or completed project.

Thank you to everyone who met with the team. For current product information, explore the platform or contact SkyRoster.
