13 The Strategic Role of ICT Standards in Fostering the Aviation and Airline Industries Multiple Stake Holders are involved for ICT standardization in aviation and airline Industries: 1. AirCraft Manufacturers, Tier 1 equipment suppliers and Service Providers 2. Airlines Companies; Local & National Civil Aviation and Airports Authorities 3. Regional/Sub Regional Air Transportation Agencies, Air Traffic Controllers & Safety Boards (FAA, EASA, AATC, EUROCONTROL, NTSB, etc.) 4. Global Aviation Agencies and Standardization Bodies (ICAO, IATA, ETSI, ANSI, etc )

14 The Strategic Role of ICT Standards in Fostering the Aviation and Airline Industries - New mission critical industry standards (D0178, DO254) are been adopted to develop a new breed of avionics sub-systems in modern aviation industry - Non Regression Testing standards (DO160) of onboard equipment is becoming more and more rigorous to insure compliance and interoperability with existing systems -Accreditation, test Labs, Certification, Regulations and Mutual Recognition Agreements ( MRAs) are becoming more and more critical. - New domain specific QMS are imposed by equipments manufacturers and service providers (CMMi, EN9100, SPICE, TL9000, ISO27000, etc.)

15 The Role of ICT Standards In Fostering New Developments in Avionics for Industry Aircraft Safety Alerts Collision Avoidance Flight Control Systems Landing Systems Navigation services Avionics Communications The ICT standard for airline reservation systems Professional services Passenger services In-flight entertainment Audio entertainment The Embedded IT systems in new generation of airplanes Airport / Ground Air traffic control Air traffic management Video entertainment Games Maps In-flight connectivity The ICT standard for ground operation in airports Airport surface movement guidance Navigation services Internal telephony Satellite telephony Mobile telephony The IT standard in Ground to Air operations Data communication Wi-Fi The IT standard for In-flight Entertainment (IFE) Systems in airplanes - Service The IT providers standard for Online Services used in aircrafts - Billing -

16 The Strategic Role of ICT Standards in Fostering the Aviation and Airline Industries ITU role in ICT Standards development for aviation and airline industries can be driven by: Airline industry is becoming more and more ICT centric Larger population access to air transportation worldwide driven by global trends in economy thus leading to stronger demands on new breed of aircarfts (bigger capacity, fuel efficiency, etc.) Growth in airline industry coming from new emerging markets in Asia, Africa and Middle East. Deregulation & Open Sky initiatives leading to the development of low cost carriers thus putting more pressure on incumbent airlines to compete on prices but yet offering new services driven by ICT to improve margins (IFE, Online applications, TV access, etc )

17 The Strategic Role of ICT Standards in Fostering the Aviation and Airline Industries Challenges for ICT Standards adoption in aviation and airline industries are related to: Existence of large panel of proprietary applications and systems in use in the industry for many years Issues regarding security, liability, privacy of data related to aircarfts, passengers and ground systems involving multiple stake holders Interoperability of existing and new systems and applications Wide differences over standards implementation readiness in various regions of the globle (Africa/Asia/Europe/Americas)
