ICAO ANC Delegation Visits PVG: VariFlight's TAM Solution Takes Center Stage
Upon arrival, the delegation received an in-depth briefing on PVG's digital transformation journey, with emphasis on the TAM solution. As an AI-driven, agent-based operational model, the TAM solution seamlessly integrates various aspects of airport management, optimizing resource allocation, streamlining workflows, and enhancing overall operational performance—all critical for large-scale airports like PVG.
The delegation expressed strong interest in and appreciation for the TAM solution's practical implementation. VariFlight, as the technical provider of TAM, was on hand to offer detailed explanations, demonstrating its deep understanding of the system's inner workings and its potential for further development.
Mr. Junrong Liang, President of ICAO ANC, emphasized that ICAO closely monitors the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in aviation. He encouraged airports to share more digital and intelligent best practices with ICAO ANC, as these could support the development of globally applicable standards in the future.
Following the meeting, the ANC delegation visited the airside operations area of PVG to observe a live demonstration of autonomous baggage tractors. Under the TAM system, the intelligent Surface Management Agent (SURF Agent) and Ground Management Agent (GMAN Agent) enabled real-time collaboration between systems and vehicles, significantly enhancing the safety and efficiency of autonomous ground operations.

Anwar: Govt manages to cut new debt by RM22b over two years, slams critics for ‘deceiving the people'
PUTRAJAYA, July 21 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the government has succeeded in reducing the annual debt to RM77 billion in 2024 from RM99 billion in 2022. This thus fulfils the commitment of more prudent fiscal management, and only the interest payments on old debts have not yet been reduced, he said. 'The new debt that the government has incurred (was) RM99 billion in 2022, dropping to RM93 billion in 2023 and in 2024 the total is RM77 billion... that is less. 'They say the total amount (of debt) is more, added with the old debt and the interest that we have to pay, but I said the government promised to reduce new debt, we have fulfilled that. 'But what is being spread around... we are increasing (the debt), so it is as if we are deceiving the people. If you look at these figures, who is deceiving?' he asked when speaking at the Prime Minister's Department monthly assembly here today. Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said annual new debt had been successfully reduced in line with the reduction in the deficit, while giving the commitment that the government would reduce the fiscal deficit in stages and responsibly without affecting national development. He said the government had reduced the country's fiscal deficit from 5.5 per cent in 2022 to 4.1 per cent in 2024, with a target of 3.8 per cent for this year. He explained that the government has chosen a 'gradual' approach so that deficit reduction does not sacrifice development needs and market confidence. Anwar said the move was in line with economic principles that emphasise financial discipline in the economic management of an entity, including the country. 'We took over in 2022, the fiscal deficit at that time was 5.5 per cent. What is a deficit? It means that spending exceeds national income, which means we are in debt. 'We manage the national economy like a household economy. If the income is RM5,000 but the expenditure is RM7,000, that is a deficit. So now we are reducing the expenditure to RM6,500, RM6,000, RM5,500. If it drops suddenly, then (development) cannot proceed,' he said. The Prime Minister also praised the work of the civil service team who carried out their responsibilities so that Malaysia jumped 11 places in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, to 23rd compared to 2024 (34th), driven by improved economic performance and administrative efficiency. In June, the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) announced that Malaysia had jumped 11 places in the World Competitiveness Ranking (WCR) 2025 to 23rd place, which is the country's best achievement since 2020, thus reflecting the progressive momentum in the country's economic recovery and reform agenda. MITI said the rise of the country is on track to be among the 12 most competitive economies before 2033, as targeted by the MADANI Economy Framework. Anwar added that the International Monetary Fund in its Article IV consultation for 2025 had praised Malaysia's commitment in implementing fiscal reforms including the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA). 'What does that mean? It means the Finance Minister has handed over some of his powers to parliament to assess if the target has been met,' he said. — Bernama
