UAE PBN-Centric Regional Airspace Redesign

Cignus provided AirTOp simulation services to the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) under contract to THINK Research in support of a new PBN-centric regional airspace redesign. The airspace structure included new RNAV/RNP procedure designs for several major airports including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.

Interfaces and flows between multiple Terminal Management Areas and adjacent ANSP facilities were evaluated. Cignus developed AirTOp simulation models for various alternative designs and analyzed flows and airspace/airport capacities based on throughput, delays, and potential conflicts.
