Asia Pacific leads the world in air transportation growth. To sustain such growth, continued effort for the modernisation and harmonisation of operation and management of the regional airspace is essential. It was timely that in 2013, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) jointly established the ATMRI in Singapore, with the vision to set up a renowned ATM research institute, finding innovative solutions, and catalysing an ATM transformation in the region. The strategic research foci of ATMRI are as follows:

• Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics for ATM

• Urban Aerial Transport - Traffic Management and Systems

• Regional ATM Modernization

• Exploratory Studies & Emergence Technologies

• Talent Development – PhD Programmes
