Hello Network!
I’m currently working on a project related to the resilience of Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP) to the outbreak of the COVID-19. The purpose of this research is to propose solutions for a sustainable way out of this global pandemic.
The main source of income of many ANSPs is the aeronautical charges, also known as ANSP charges, that are collected from airspace users in return for the services they received.
The COVID-19 has taught us that ANSPs cannot continue relying on Aeronautical charges only. Due to airspace restrictions since 2020, many airlines suspended their flights. This situation resulted in a lack of aircrafts in the airspace. ANSP charges depends on the traffic flow in the airspace. The more airlines fly, the more ANSPs can charge the airspace users. Therefore, in order to be resilient and be able to face future crisis, ANSPs should compulsorily find new business model that will strengthen the current one based on ANSP Charges.
What kind of new business model can we propose to ANSPs in order to diversify their sources of income?
This Network is the perfect place to ask this question and I hope that some specialists or experts will share their opinions.
It is really difficult to suggest the business model to diversify their business during the Corona pandemic period.
These Air Navigation Service Providers are rendering their duty because of the air travellers movements from one place to another.
Even the existing business are getting deteriorated in all aspects. These people don't know except this services.
They can do some Cargo services which will support the Marketing dimensions.
There is a huge demands for consumable goods and services so that is the correct if way if concentrating during the pandemic period.
I don't have any idea or any business model suitable for them. Sorry.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Let's assume that air transport activities will fully resume by the end of 2021.
In this case, considering that ANSPs will start collecting charges from airspace users, what can we propose to those ANSPs to enhance their resilience in order to be able to survive future crisis that might worse than covid-19.
