Runway Challenge: The airport's runway, built on a volcanic rock plateau, is known for its wind shear, making landings a thrilling experience for pilots. Fun Fact: Did you know that before the airport was built, the only way to reach St Helena was by a five-day sea voyage from South Africa? Our virtual journey continues - stay tuned for more exciting destinations in the weeks ahead! #AirportShowcase #TotalControl #StHelenaAirport #RemoteAdventure #simulation #ATC

A deep dive into practical aspects of Urban Air Mobility

Key takeaways from the panel at this afternoon’s Urban 🚦 #RoadSafety session at #TRA2024: ·        A change in focus is needed from vulnerable road users to VALUABLE road users. Groups such as 🚶♀️ pedestrians and 🚴♂️ cyclists add much value to our cities (both on road safety and sustainability) and should not be seen as only vulnerable.   ·        Need to consider the needs of each road user separately (cyclists, pedestrians, micro mobility…) and cater to the needs of each. One size does not fit all!   ·        Road users need to be at the centre for the development of the #TEN_T network #UrbanMobility #SustainableMobility Maurizio Tira Valentina Orioli Evelien Marlier Peter Staelens Eurocities

Join us, Feb 21, 12-1 PM PST, for a free webinar: Developing a Cycle Highway Network: Lessons from Belgium & Europe. Learn from the European experience, engage in a Q&A session, and deepen your knowledge of this integral component of sustainable transportation networks. In the face of the climate crisis and the imperative for sustainable mobility, cycle highways have emerged as a transformative force in European active transportation. These long-distance, safe, and user-friendly cycling paths cater to people of all ages and abilities, providing an intuitive means of cycling and rolling both short and long distances. As the Metro Vancouver region is exploring how to develop the Major Bikeway Network and its connection to cycle highways, this is an opportune time for decision-makers, planners and stakeholders to dive deeper into cycle highways. Pieter Dudal, a seasoned expert in cycle highway development, will share invaluable insights from Belgium's cycle highway experience and lessons learned from across Europe. The session will explore funding mechanisms, decision-making processes, location selection, innovative design approaches, and touch on cycle highway's positive community and economic impacts. https://lnkd.in/g3iac2SZ

The latest article from #McKinsey Center for Future Mobility details the decisive efforts it will take for cities to achieve #micromobility benefits of more green space, cleaner air, and less congested roads. The potential benefits of micromobility justify these measures but we need both urban leaders and residents to make the shift. Check out this insightful article for more information!
