AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES PERFORMANCE MARKEST (PB 2023) Hardcover

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the five key categories of Air Navigation Services (ANS) that support air traffic during all stages of flight: air traffic management (ATM), communication, navigation, and surveillance services (CNS), meteorological services for air navigation (MET), aeronautical information services (AIS), and search and rescue (SAR). Intended for professionals in Air Transport Management, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in air transport management and aeronautical engineering, it will also be a valuable resource for training air traffic control officers (ATCOs). Requiring no prior specialist knowledge, the book serves as an entry point to the business of air navigation service providers (ANSPs). Given the limited existing literature that thoroughly explores the complexities, potential risks, and challenges of providing air navigation services, this book aims to fill this significant gap by offering a detailed and in-depth study of the management principles relevant to ANSPs. This is particularly pertinent considering recent developments in air traffic control (ATC) in regions like Europe, the USA, and New Zealand. As airlines and airports depend on ANSPs for managing air traffic, the provision of air navigation services is a fundamental component of air transportation.
