AEROTHAI, Thailand’s air navigation service provider, is set to introduce a cutting-edge technology called Smart Tower, which will revolutionize air traffic control. This new software will enable air traffic controllers to manage air traffic remotely, eliminating the need for new air traffic control towers when airports expand with new runways. The software will also include a 3D simulator for training new controllers. In the first phase, the Digital Tower will be implemented at high-traffic airports in Thailand next year.
In the second phase, the software will be used for remote air traffic control at airports with lower traffic volumes, reducing the need for on-site personnel. The Remote Tower operation is planned to begin in 2027 at Narathiwat and Betong airports. AEROTHAI will also integrate Air Traffic Flow Management with Airport Collaborative Decision-Making, allowing for faster and more efficient joint decisions between air traffic controllers and airport management teams to improve service quality and safety for airlines. This innovative technology will not only enhance air traffic control operations in Thailand but also set a new standard for air navigation services worldwide.
