Investing in the Future Through Digital Transformation

Airservices Australia invested in a digital transformation strategy to improve data and information management, as well to empower decision making across the company. Augmenting its traditional analogue technologies, Airservices committed to using digital technologies and cloud services while meeting the requirements of national and global technology standards and protocols.

Mission-critical priority

Airservices Australia is the national air navigation provider offering safe air transport and navigation through the Australian air space.
Driving to be a high tech organisation with a goal to improve company-wide productivity, navigation accuracy and safety, Airservices is aiming to augment its traditional analogue aerospace technologies and investing in information management, digitalisation, automation and AI to process large quantities of data.
Key to this is developing an operational digital twin as an analytics tool using reliable real-time data and machine learning algorithms, resulting in better information for critical decision making.
The goal is to continue to make air travel safer, more reliable and predictable for all Australian airspace users.
