Airspace Unlimited presents at the ICAO North Atlantic Track (NAT) workshop Airspace Unlimited were honoured to be invited to present our views on how airspace will be impacted and managed as a result of the increasing demand of commercial space launch/recovery activity relating to the North Atlantic Track area. The meeting was an opportunity for ANSPs, National Regulators, Industry stakeholders such as Eurocontrol, Spaceport Operators, Rocket Manufacturers, Airline and Pilot representatives to discuss issues relating to the increased demand for airspace and the overall impact on existing operations. The variety of proposed space activities demonstrated the need for comprehensive planning and analysis, on not only the proposed launch site, but for down-range effects of reusable rocket stage and faring recovery, as well as potential returning satellite recovery zones. These impact assessments should consider the variable wind effects and reflect not only the direct effect on civil airline traffic, but the broader environmental impact on other activity (maritime) as well. This was a valuable opportunity for a wide range of views to be presented and informative discussions to take place. Airspace Unlimited have developed detailed analytics capabilities along with design functionality that will help minimize the impact of space launch and recovery activity on other airspace users. We would like to thank ICAO and the organizers for allowing us to contribute to this important conversation.
About us
Data driven collaboration achieving a net zero aviation future, by reducing fuel waste now Despite perceptions, airspace is a finite resource, essential not just for the transport of people and goods, but for defence of sovereign territory, facilitation of telecommunications, and the furtherance of science through space flight. Airspace Unlimited is an innovator in airspace usage, not only to maximise these activities by users, but to do it by reducing fuel burn and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Our Research activities have led to the development of an algorithmic-based analysis of multiple flight routing options against variables such as route charges, winds aloft and the placement of military reservations. This analysis focuses on the core elements of flight planning, which have become an increasingly sophisticated operation.

Who has heard the old saying 'Do more with less'? While this strategy is not sustainable, increasingly reality is rooted in the idea of doing more with what you have. Optimisation, efficiency gains and operational enhancements are words that mean do more without additional resources. This should be the aim of every individual or organisation. Waste should neither be encouraged or accepted. Unfortunately, there is waste in any system with multiple stakeholders and external influences. The air traffic management (ATM) system is no exception to this reality, our mission should be to identify where there are gaps in the overall performance and move to close these holes. Many of the efficiency gaps within the ATM system are rooted in legacy airspace structures and operating procedures. Aircraft capability has far outrun the suitability of airspace structures particularly in the area of military training and airspace requirements. Airspace Unlimited acknowledges that there will never be 100% efficiency, but there are real gains to be had by managing the assets we have more effectively. These structural gains come at a hugely discounted rate compared to the cost of developing new engines and fuels to fire them, and most importantly, are available now.
