As communication channels become faster and more efficient, through 5G (and future 6G), ACARS over IP and other paths beyond VDL Mode 2, multiple connectivity links to aircraft can deliver great benefits for airlines. What is the status of SatCom, with new acquisitions, new LEOs’ and Starlink, and what impact can these have for the industry? How can the Hyperconnected ATM deliver performance-based requirements, and what will be the priority for use of this bandwidth, such as weather data, or connectivity for maintenance? In this session, we will explore how the hyperconnected airspace can become a game changer.

How much data is enough data? With each flight creating terabytes of flight data, how should this data be best utilised? How should it be collected, processed, stored, transmitted, and how can it be monetised - could AI assist? What is the cost of storing data on-board, what are the requirements of airlines to ensure data and equipment is following standards and regulations, such as DO-355A / EUROCAE ED204A - and what are those standards?

With increasing demands for cabin services, and therefore connectivity, how can these be delivered with service and cost efficiencies? How will a multi-orbit in-flight connectivity (IFC) service combining Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite capacity deliver? What is the latest on cabin satcom, satcom antennas and passenger internet connectivity? What is the future for the connected cabin and passenger experience?

Recent estimates anticipate 40 times more commercial UAMs/UAVs/Drones will be flying beyond visual line-of-sight by 2030 than commercial aircraft, so the need for integration of Advanced Air Mobility into ATM is becoming more essential. What is the impact and consequences for aircraft re-entering from high airspace. What are the challenges of airspace of drones and commercial aircraft integrating around an airport? What's the latest on data connection for future airspace? There is a need for advanced air traffic services, but also new economic benefits from airspaces. In this session we explore the integrated ATC and need for the Managed Airspace.

As data becomes more prolific and more 'valuable' to an organisation, how do we control this flow of information and who 'owns' the data? As processing data offline becomes more economical, what are data limitations, how do we value data and share just required data and ensure its security? How do we get airlines certified and ensure the Airline Network Security Prog (ANSP) is in place to ensure data is protected from start to finish? What advice is there to airlines for SEMS in this instance? How do we best protect data from a cyberattack or corrupting in the middle of a process?

How can connectivity be a benefit and driver for airlines and business aircraft in the future, for the end-to-end passenger journey, such as cabin comm, satcom or air-to-ground? What new capabilities can it bring for on-board retail and contactless payments, the passenger experience, as well as digital and data management? Can connectivity help deliver greater sustainability? How can AI move into aircraft for added value? This session looks at the innovations in the future of connectivity.
