Show Notes
Marek Bekier is a senior vice president at ACR Aviation Capacity Resources, which manages air traffic at 17 Swedish airports.
In this special episode in partnership with UNSW's School of Aviation, Bekier talks to Australian Aviation's Adam Thorn about what a career in air traffic control is really like, alongside its challenges.
The pair talk about why we need to move on from monopoly operations and how a free-market approach can work.
They also discuss how ATC needs to evolve in a world of drones, eVTOLs and more traditional aircraft traffic.
