Manchester Airport is implementing a hybrid digital control tower as part of its Terminal 2 extension, collaborating with NATS and Searidge Technologies.
The new system will use ultra-high definition panoramic cameras and radar data to enhance air traffic controller visibility and operational efficiency.
Manchester Airport is set to be the first major international airport in the UK to adopt this technology, with implementation expected next year.
This initiative is part of a larger £1.3 billion transformation programme aimed at improving on-time performance and reducing delays for passengers.
