Award winners revealed at ATC Global Conference and Exhibition 2010

IHS Jane's have announced the winners of the 2010 Jane's ATC Awards at the ATC Global Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam.

"The ATC Awards are a valuable platform for the industry, which highlight important initiatives making air travel safer, more efficient and damaging to the environment," Ben Vogel, editor of Jane's Airport Review explained.

All the nominations for the 2010 Jane's ATC Awards were of an extremely high standard and highlighted the advances across the ATC sector.

The winners represent key achievements in the industry throughout the last twelve months. An independent panel of judges made their selections from flight efficiency programmes, safety initiatives and technical developments that will make flying more convenient and greener in the future.

Air traffic control is under pressure to deliver more in all these areas and the Jane's ATC Awards demonstrate there is no shortage of innovation to help meet this need.

Vogel concluded: "IHS Jane's particularly appreciates the expert and impartial input from the awards panel, which is made up of senior technical representatives from ICAO, IATA, FAA, Eurocontrol and CANSO. We look forward to working with them again next year."
