Organised with the support of key institutional and industrial stakeholders - including the European Commission, EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, SESAR Joint Undertaking JU, International Air Transport Association (IATA), and CANSO - the Forum brought together the aviation community to explore the evolving role of artificial intelligence in aviation, from machine learning to generative AI. It offered a valuable opportunity to share insights from recent workshops and engage in forward-looking discussions on human-AI teaming in operational environments.

ASTAIR was featured in the “Societal and Human Aspects” session, with a presentation by Mathieu Cousy (ENAC), project coordinator.

What is ASTAIR?
ASTAIR aims to develop a support tool for supervised, fully automated taxiing operations, with the ambition to:

• Improve predictability
• Strengthen human - automation collaboration
• Promote more sustainable airport ground operations

ENAC not only coordinates the project but also contributes to the design of human–machine interfaces (HMI) and the integration into real-time simulations to validate the concept.

Building on the foundations laid by the SESAR AEON Project, ASTAIR continues to advance automation in aviation with a human-centred approach.
