Aviation Digital Operations Symposium 2026

Airspace adjustments, occupancy, regional conflicts and navigation interference — almost every change in the operating environment first appears in NOTAMs. This session examines the evolution of the operating environment reflected in massive NOTAM data, analyzes the pain points, and shares targeted response practices.

Large AI models iterate rapidly, but hallucination and stability issues make deployment in high-safety industries especially cautious. This session shares the engineering pathways and practical experience of deploying large AI models in high-reliability industries, providing a reference for civil aviation applications.

With frequent regional conflicts and high oil prices, the pressure of rerouting and fuel costs is mounting, making route optimization a key lever for airlines to reduce costs. This session shares AI-driven trajectory optimization methods and their actual application results.

As large AI model applications scale up, the demand for computing power surges, making cost control an unavoidable topic. This session discusses the technical routes for computing power planning, deployment and security assurance in civil aviation scenarios.

International chart data has long relied on a few suppliers, and calls for more suppliers are gaining momentum. One year after ZDH international charts were put into operation, this session reviews, from an airline perspective, the certification of the charts, real-world usage experience and operational results.

The flight plan system is a core system for airline operations control, and single function upgrading affects the entire system. This session shares the journey, challenges and breakthroughs of launching and switching to the new-generation system, providing more reference for users.

With continued growth in flight volume, ground operations at hub airports are becoming increasingly complex, and the risks of taxiway conflicts and runway incursions are rising. This session analyzes, based on operations data, the safety and efficiency value that AMM brings to airlines.

This session shares an international leading airline's operations control and digital-transformation practice, offering benchmarks and references for industry peers.

Flight scheduling, crew rostering and irregular flight recovery are essentially large-scale operations research problems. Traditional algorithms are increasingly hitting bottlenecks in coping with rule changes, implementation, scale variations and timeliness requirements. This session explores the improvements that AI-based operations research optimization can bring to operations.

With sustained passenger growth and the coexistence of airspace congestion, cost reduction and carbon reduction pressures, digitization is seen as a common choice for the global civil aviation industry to break through. This session interprets global trends and standard developments in operational digital transformation, grasping the direction of the industry.

Cockpits and EFBs operate in offline or weak-network environments with high data security requirements, making it difficult for cloud-based large AI models to enter the cockpit directly. The maturity of on-device large AI models brings new possibilities; this session discusses their application prospects in civil aviation.

AI and data are reaching into every corner of civil aviation operations, and the boundaries of many roles are being redrawn. Panel guests envision what their work will look like five years from now — what will be handed over to algorithms, where human value lies, and how humans and machines will collaborate.
