The recent deployment of Pairwise Separation at Heathrow Airport marks a significant milestone in air traffic management. Part of Intelligent Approach (IA), this groundbreaking new way of separating arriving aircraft can increase landing rates, cut airborne holding, and help make significant carbon reductions. With the latest deployment of the technology at Heathrow Airport in December, I sat with John Eden, Service Technical Expert for Traffic Synchronisation, and a key member of the project team, to discuss the intricacies involved, the challenges encountered, and how they were successfully overcome.
