About this episode
Enrico Parini discusses the future of aviation and the role of air navigation service providers in Europe.
In this episode of “Raising the Aviation Bar”, we sit down with Enrico Parini, the new Director of European Affairs at CANSO Europe, the voice of the European air traffic management industry. In this role Enrico isn’t just tackling technical challenges – he’s passionate about shaping the future of aviation. Representing 36 air navigation service providers (ANSPs), Enrico’s mission is to make sure their voices are heard at the European level, and to spotlight the vital role they play in keeping aviation – and business – running smoothly across the continent. From managing changing air traffic trends and facing growing capacity challenges to addressing cybersecurity risks and GNSS spoofing, Enrico shares CANSO’s perspective on safeguarding the skies while keeping innovation moving forward. In this podcast episode, he highlights the vital role of highly skilled ANSP professionals in enabling global connectivity and maintaining Europe’s leadership in air traffic management – paying special tribute to efforts this summer to manage peak traffic, with many area control centres going well beyond their planned commitments to handling network traffic.
