The ATC Webinar: Operational Insights on Contrail Avoidance and Capacity Management

​As the aviation industry addresses its climate impact, contrail avoidance is becoming a key operational consideration, not just for pilots, but for Air Traffic Controllers.

This session is designed for air traffic controllers, ANSP managers, airline operations and sustainability teams, or anyone interested in the practical implementation of contrail avoidance.

​​Join our expert panel to explore how contrails influence daily ATC operations, from tactical and pre-tactical decision-making to capacity management and predictability. Learn how controllers balance pilot requests, traffic forecasting limitations, weather, and restricted airspace while integrating climate-conscious practices into the flow of operations.

​​What you’ll gain from this session:

• ​​Understanding how contrails act as a new operational constraint for ATC

• ​​Insights on capacity variability and tactical vs. pre-tactical decisions

• ​​Real-world perspectives on traffic forecasting, flight level change requests, and automation support

• ​​The evolving role of ATC in shaping climate-aware operations

​​Webinar Format:
