Description
The recent technical and operational impacts of COVID-19 on the aviation community have been significant and challenging. Airbus and Boeing will provide insight into their plans for moving forward towards the future, taking into consideration these new challenges while also taking advantage of new opportunities which have presented themselves. The aviation community is also having to address disruption and interference to the aviation spectrum. What can we do to try to protect and maintain this limited resource when accounting for a range of different factors, including interference, jamming, changes by national regulators, and the expected growth from existing air traffic and new entrants.
