How is Europe’s aviation network kept safe, connected, and constantly moving? In the Season 2 premiere of The EUROAVIA Podcast, we sit down with EUROCONTROL to explore the systems, people, and opportunities shaping the future of aviation across Europe.

From coordinating airlines, airports, and navigation service providers to tackling the industry’s growing talent gap, this conversation offers an inside look at the realities of working in modern aviation.

We discuss the skills young professionals need beyond university, the evolving demands of the sector, and how initiatives like the Skyline Traineeship Programme are preparing the next generation of aviation leaders.

The episode also highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in aviation, and how the industry is working to create a more representative and future-ready workforce.

What does it actually take to keep the world’s skies moving? In this episode, we’re joined by Angy Odysseos, Media Relations Manager at CANSO, for a deep dive into the heart of Air Traffic Management.

Recorded just before the 2025 edition, this conversation arrives at the perfect time to look forward to Airspace World 2026 in Lisbon (May 26–28). We dive into the "talent gap" and the need for a more diverse workforce — a mission beautifully captured in the campaign video "The Guardians of the Skies" (linked below), which showcases the dedication of the controllers keeping our skies safe.
