Altitude is a monthly podcast from NATS.

A decade ago, digital towers were a niche concept, confined to a small part of the industry. Today and they are an operational reality for airports around the world. From London to Singapore via Budapest and Colorado, airports of all sizes are now going ‘digital’. And while the initial attraction was in the use of cameras and high-speed data connections to move controllers offsite, we’re now discovering the potential is far, far greater.

Host Ady Dolan (Heathrow Air Traffic controller) is joined Andy Taylor (NATS Chief Solutions Officer for Digital Towers) and Neil Bowles (Executive Vice President at Searidge Technologies) to discuss whether digital control towers really are the future for airport operations.
