How EUROCONTROL supports European airports – talking to Agnieszka Dybowska
In this episode, we speak to Agnieszka Dybowska, who leads business coordination in EUROCONTROL’s Airports Unit, to learn about how the EUROCONTROL Network Manager (NM) supports more than 500 airports across Europe as well as the various aircraft operators flying to, from and over the network, and the air navigation service providers (ANSPs) who ensure safe air navigation services throughout. Agnieszka explains why airports are central to the European air traffic network’s performance, and how local operational decisions can have far-reaching effects across the entire network. From departure delays and early arrivals to severe weather disruptions, capacity constraints and resilience challenges, she highlights the interconnected nature of aviation and the importance of NM’s #thinkNetwork approach, which reminds all partners in aviation that local decisions can have a significant impact on the network as a whole. The podcast also explores the work of the Airports Operations Team, a unique forum that brings together over 100 aviation representatives to identify priorities and solutions. Agnieszka additionally shares insights into today’s biggest airport challenges, and explains how EUROCONTROL helps airports improve efficiency, resilience and sustainability across the network.
