More than 250 representatives from all 85 air traffic management service providers will attend an international air traffic management conference in Thailand aimed at improving data-sharing systems, according to a Thai aviation chief. Canso, a coalition of air traffic management operators, was founded in 1996. It claims its membership currently accounts for over 85% of world air traffic. "Some information sharing still has to be done manually, which is inefficient; thus, the goal is to digitise all data-sharing systems in air navigation services, especially in light of increased air traffic." Ms Sarinee said yesterday an air traffic development plan for Thailand is currently being finalised, with discussions with the CAAT still ongoing.
