Weather remains one of the most significant drivers of capacity constraints in air traffic management, making early and accurate forecasting essential for effective operational planning. During the SESAR Walking Tours at Airspace World 2026 in Lisbon, Dr. Aniel Jardines presented the KAIROS project at the ENAIRE stand, demonstrating how artificial intelligence can enhance the prediction of convective weather phenomena, including CB clouds, heavy precipitation, turbulence, lig

At the European Workshop on Atmospheric Dust in Larnaca, Cyprus, researcher Hugues Brenot from BIRA presented some of the most recent results from the KAIROS project, highlighting the importance of monitoring atmospheric dust events and their impacts. The discussions were especially relevant in the context of the intense African dust storm that recently affected Greece and Cyprus, disrupting flights and significantly reducing air quality across the region. Such events underli

Last week in Brussels, partners gathered for the 5th KAIROS Bi-Annual Meeting as the project enters its final phase. The meeting provided an important opportunity to take stock of progress achieved so far and to exchange views on the growing role of digitalisation and automation in aviation meteorology. In particular, discussions focused on how AI-driven solutions can help improve the way weather information is generated, interpreted, and used operationally. Key highlights fr
