Air traffic is now recovering from the COVID downturn. The challenge for many airports is how the traffic can be managed more sustainably and efficiently while considering emissions and the needs of local communities. Additional capacity from new runways and ground infrastructure is expensive and can be subject to lengthy and complicated planning. In some cases, it’s simply not possible.

Experience with the Intelligent Approach system—initially developed for London Heathrow and now operating at Toronto Pearson and Amsterdam Schiphol—is a great showcase, demonstrating that technology really can help. Just ask the airports, airlines and air traffic controllers that use it.

What is Intelligent Approach?

Intelligent Approach is a suite of controller tools, jointly developed by Leidos and navigation service provider NATS. The system safely optimises arrival spacing to maximise runway capacity, enabling increased operational resilience, reducing fuel burn and CO₂ emissions, and delivering better on-time performance. It can be integrated into any air traffic management system, providing dynamic separation indicators for air traffic controllers to maximize available runway capacity.

Intelligent Approach simplifies the separation of aircraft for air traffic controllers, offering capacity gains usually equivalent to two or three additional landings per hour per runway. The Time Based Separation functionality automatically adjusts spacing based on real-time wind data downlinked directly from each aircraft. This has been shown to reduce the impact of headwinds on runway capacity by over 60%.

For air traffic controllers using the tools, the concept is simple. The controllers are presented with a dynamic indicator, which shows the minimum safe separation that should be used and is automatically adjusted for aircraft type and real-time wind conditions. The indicator also automatically shows the controllers if the lead aircraft will need more time to allow it to exit the runway and considers the compression that happens when the lead aircraft slows to its landing speed, providing accurate indicators all the way to the runway threshold.

What are the benefits of using Intelligent Approach?

In January 2023, Amsterdam Schiphol became the most recent airport to adopt the technology, immediately seeing a significant capacity and operational resilience benefit. After a year in use, LVNL (the Netherland’s air traffic service provider) has reported three to six additional landings per hour on each of its runways under headwind conditions. The additional tactical capacity has allowed increased use of the noise preferential runway at Schiphol, reducing noise impact on local communities.

Soon after implementation, LVNL CEO Michiel van Dorst commented, “By implementing RECAT-TBS, we contribute to improving the residential quality and living environment for people living in the local community by using the most noise sensitive runways less. We also achieve safer and better throughput in landing air traffic flows which results in airlines suffering less from delayed flights during high winds at Schiphol.”

At Heathrow, Intelligent Approach is enabling savings of some 45,000 tonnes of CO₂ per annum and significantly improving the airport’s operational punctuality. A British Airways operations director described it as essential to maintaining efficient operations and providing the best service possible to the airline’s passengers.

Toronto Pearson is seeing similar benefits, with early data showing a reduction of 6% or more in spacing between both wake and non-wake pairs. It is anticipated that this will lead to a corresponding increase in runway capacity in both high wind and indeed, low wind conditions.

And that’s not the end of the story. With the typical payback period for the cost of Intelligent Approach being measured in a few months, not years, more airports are adopting this technology.

On Tuesday, which was Earth Day, Camden resident and avid gardener Ernesto Ventura Sr. received a free tree to add to his yard.

“This will fit in nicely with my tomatoes, grapes and other trees,” he said in an interview as he examined the roughly 2-foot piece of greenery.

The tree Ventura received was one of 75 that the Subaru Corporation, through the Arbor Day Foundation, gave away for free during the Camden Cleanup kickoff that took place at Dudley Grange Park, Adam Leiter, a corporate communications specialist for Subaru, told TAPinto Camden.

In June 1981, news of a mysterious disease first began making headlines out of San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. People who were impacted developed unusual infections and grew sick as their immune systems failed. Those early days of what we now know as the HIV epidemic were marked by great fear and loss. By the time the first medicine was introduced in the United States in 1987, more than 5,000 people had died and the number of people impacted continued to balloon.

In the decades since then, Gilead has been committed to relentless innovation to treat and prevent HIV – and its scientific advances have helped reshape the course of the epidemic: The company created the first single-tablet daily HIV treatment in 2006. Prior to this innovation, the first therapies to treat HIV required people to often take more than 20 pills a day and deal with potentially numerous side effects. Six years later, in 2012, Gilead again brought another tool to fight the epidemic when its first HIV prevention medicine was approved.

Still a host of social factors, including stigma and access, have continued to contribute to the human toll and economic impact that HIV has had around the world. In the U.S. alone, 100 people die from HIV-related illnesses and 700 people are newly diagnosed each week. Thus, Gilead remains steadfastly committed to helping end the epidemic.

Gilead is at the forefront of pioneering innovations in HIV, providing prevention and treatment options that help meet unmet needs. The company closed out 2024 earning the Breakthrough of the Year honor by Science magazine for one of its innovations in HIV.

For Gilead, this new chapter of innovation in HIV is driven by two primary themes: putting people first and long-acting prevention options. Putting people first means, in part, partnering with communities early in the clinical development process. Researchers worked with the community in the design of its groundbreaking PURPOSE HIV prevention program. For example, researchers worked with the community in the design of its groundbreaking PURPOSE HIV prevention program, which is considered to be the most comprehensive and diverse of any HIV prevention program conducted.

“To make substantial progress, we must be intentional about both the scientific and community-based factors that help shape the epidemic,” says Moupali Das, Vice President, Clinical Development, HIV Prevention & Pediatrics. “It’s critical to focus on groups who are disproportionately affected by HIV and who most need new options for prevention.”

Gilead also goes beyond investing in world-class science and putting people at the center of the drug development process. It also works with community organizations and global partners to reduce barriers to care and help enable access to its medicines.

“To help stop HIV, we need to help enable access to our medicines to everyone who could benefit, no matter who or where they are,” says Janet Dorling, Senior Vice President, Intercontinental Region, and Gilead Patient Solutions (GPS). Staying true to the company’s heritage of pioneering access programs, Gilead is committed to supplying its medicines where the need is greatest.

Ultimately, it will take a combination of bold, scientific innovation coupled with partnerships to help end the epidemic that has taken the lives of more than 42 million people since the 80s.

“We have a responsibility to help end one of the greatest public health challenges of our time,” says Daniel O’Day, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The opportunity to end the HIV epidemic has never been greater.”
