Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of Airport Industry Review magazine

In our cover story this issue, we take a look at how runway maintenance and upgrades are being adapted to handle the stress of rapidly changing climates, from heightened risks of flooding to stresses caused by high temperatures.

We also consider air traffic control operations, and how there is a growing awareness of the importance of mental health among ATCOs. We also learn why it’s imperative that ATC systems strengthen cybersecurity in order to reduce risk vectors.

As well as this, we speak to AIRHART's new chief strategy officer about the importance of shifting perceptions of what a modern airport management system looks like, and hear industry reactions to the UK government's backing of an expansion at the country's biggest airport.

For this, and more, read on.
