Reminder: Welcome to On Air! Fourth edition of 2024

Our latest insights, news and events

for aviation readers around the world

As we head towards the Winter season, this newsletter reflects on the promise and perils of digitalisation. These came into sharp focus over the summer months with the CrowdStrike incident, which brought aviation to a standstill worldwide and was followed in Europe by increasing demand for flights and increased delays. Our sector specialists examine the factors behind these incidents in the Insights section below. We also share fantastic news from the Airport Operations side of our business, with the addition of Beauvais Airport to our network. If you are interested in finding out more about Egis's services and experience, scroll down to read new case studies about our work on Lucknow and Trichy airport transformation projects in India, the wide-ranging support we are providing globally on airport master planning, and a flagship project for French air navigation service provider DSNA. New brochures and factsheets are also available to view.
