Airservices is a government-owned corporation providing safe, secure, efficient and environmentally responsible services to the aviation industry. We manage air traffic operations for around 75 million passengers on more than three million flights every year.

Air Traffic Control Future Systems

A key strategic priority for Airservices, and one critical for success, is to deliver the future.

Air Traffic Control Future Systems (AFS) is an Airservices business group whose primary role is to plan, develop and implement a new air traffic management platform to meet our future needs, and to enhance our business continuity capability and environmental sustainability.

AFS also manages the delivery of component systems and infrastructure, and the coordination of the necessary organisational and operational changes, including liaison across the organisation and with internal and external stakeholders. It also presents an opportunity to realise a level of harmonisation with Defence in the development of a joint operational concept and national solutions to replace or enhance current systems.

With air traffic in the region expected to grow by more than 50 per cent in the anticipated life of the new platform, and with the introduction of new concepts to improve airspace organisation and airport operations, the upgrade will be a significant milestone in Australian aviation.
