Bhubaneswar Airport has introduced a new Air Traffic Management (ATM) Automation System at its recently developed Air Traffic Control Centre. This system, created through a collaboration between the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), is designed to enhance operational efficiency and ensure safety in the skies. The ATM Automation System provides controllers with conflict prediction and alert warnings, as well as decision-making tools to manage air traffic safely and efficiently at Biju Patnaik International Airport.

Integrated with an advanced surface movement guidance and control system, it aims to increase flight handling capacity, improve safety, reduce controller workload, enhance air traffic flow, and minimize delays. The system includes various in-house developed technologies, such as situation display for air traffic controllers, surveillance data processing, flight data processing, safety net and decision support, and control and monitoring display. This modern automation system was inaugurated at the newly constructed air traffic services complex by Sanjeev Kumar, Chairman of the Airports Authority of India.
