The aim of this article is to assist anyone considering implementing these systems. Along the document the main differences between conventional and remote control are stated, with the intention to clarify what advantages they can bring, the changes involved when adopting remote towers, and a brief outline of a transition plan for adopting these systems. Subsequently, the benefits to a country’s air navigation from utilizing these systems is discussed by studying the case of Colombia, a country with a unique orography. In addition, the specific characteristics of the airports are analysed to propose the candidates which may have the best outcome if remote tower systems are implemented.
