Drivers

Rise in Cost Savings

• Managing both single and multiple airports from a remote location through remote towers presents an innovative solution that addresses the financial challenges of smaller and medium-sized airports. These facilities often struggle with high expenditures for air traffic control (ATC) towers, which surpass the revenue generated by their relatively low air traffic volume. To mitigate these losses, the concept of operating multiple similar airports concurrently or sequentially from a centralized point via remote towers emerges as a cost-effective alternative.

Restraints

Rise in Cyber Threats to Air Traffic Management

• The integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) within remote tower systems, establishing a network linking airports and Control Working Positions (CWPs), presents a potential vulnerability to cyber threats in ATC operations. While traditional ATC towers typically operate in isolated environments safeguarded against cyber intrusions, the digitalization of intricate instrumentation within remote towers introduces significant cybersecurity challenges. Unlike their isolated counterparts, remote towers and their components are interconnected with the internet or network, exposing them to potential hacking risks.
