The Airport Blind Spot: Who Controls the Sky Below 500 Feet?

Day 1 - Tuesday, March 17 at 14:00

Hosted by Sentrycs

14:00 – Alon Shantzer, VP sales, Sentrycs

Airports tightly control terminals, runways and operations, yet one critical domain remains largely unmanaged: the low-altitude airspace surrounding airport activity. The rapid growth of drones and emerging urban air mobility is transforming the sky below controlled aviation zones into an active operational environment that directly impacts safety, capacity and continuity. This session explores the risks created by this “airport blind spot” and explains why airports must treat low-altitude airspace as core operational infrastructure. It introduces a new approach based on always-on airspace visibility, policy-based control, and system-wide orchestration through a Low-Altitude Defense Operating System (LADOS). Attendees will learn how airports can move from reactive incident response to proactive airspace governance to improve resilience and prepare for the future of aviation.

14:30 – Q&A and Networking
