2021 will be a year like no other. With COVID vaccines and possibly an end to the pandemic in sight, a strong but efficient air traffic management industry will be needed more than ever before. Even with some light at the end of the tunnel beckoning, there's a lot of heavy-lifting work to do and it'll certainly be a roller coaster.

 

I'm optimistic by nature and this will not change with this crisis. ATM will be different, aviation will be different. Bailouts will change some rules and new expectations will be set in terms of sustainability. Nobody knows what the industry will look like by the end of 2021 but one thing is certain: there will be opportunities along the way.

 

A good radar and a good network will be crucial and you can rest assured that this newsletter and FoxATM will deliver information that makes sense for you and is meaningful to your business.

 

2020 was the third year of FoxATM and a year like no other. We successfully launched our "Market Radar" market intelligence services and on the consulting side, new customers honoured us with their trust. We also had a lot of interesting exchanges with many partners in our ever growing network which helped establish exciting new relationships.

 

I want to use this opportunity to thank you all, dear friends, supporters, customers, partners and contacts of FoxATM. It is now time for a break and you will get the next issue of this newsletter on the 13th of January.

 

We wish you all a great holiday season and we look forward to navigating through the ATM industry in 2021 on your side.
