COCTA wins prestigious air traffic management award
As it has been announced at the World Air Traffic Management Congress 2019 in Madrid, the Horizon 2020 project "COCTA" (the Operational Research team had been led by Dr Arne Strauss) has won Jane's Innovation Award.
The award recognises achievements that raise the performance of air traffic management; it is open to entries globally from industry and academia alike.
Contenders were shortlisted and a winning entry in each category was selected by an independent panel of experienced judges from the SESAR Deployment Manager, EUROCONTROL, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers' Associations (IFATCA), and IHS Markit.
