The aviation industry stands at a critical turning point. With growing traffic volumes, increasingly diverse airspace users, and rising environmental expectations, the need for a new, integrated approach to airspace management has never been more urgent.

In this episode of The CANSO Air Traffic Management Podcast, CANSO's Director Programmes, Michelle Bishop, talks about the history of the CATS Global Council, and its aims for the new CONOPS.
