issues. I am convinced however that
breaking down complex and intricate
issues into simple ones will be one of the
keys to success. We should aim for an
evolutionary – rather than revolutionary
– approach and implement the improvements
that can be put in place as soon
as practicable. What we need now are
concrete steps forward, while avoiding to
try and fix what’s not broken.
But the first and foremost ingredient
for success is in my opinion cohesion
between all the partners. The feasibility
study contains some very ambitious ideas,
yet implementing them will require the
fundamental commitment of all the partners.
FABEC is, in fact, all about believing
that all together we can make it – just as
the forefathers of European integration
believed back in 1957. n
The FABEC area at a glance
The Functional Airspace Block Europe Central – FABEC – covers the airspace of
six States (Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland)
located in the core of the European continent. This airspace is one of the busiest
and most complex in the world. Most of the large European airports and major civil
and military airways are located in this area. Owing to its size and central position in
Europe, FABEC is a cornerstone of the Single European Sky.
n a complex and dense ATS route network;
n a dimension of 1.7 million km², equating to 9% of the surface area of
the European continent;
n 6 million flights per year, equating to 55% of all European air traffic;
n a forecast traffic growth of 50% between 2006 and 2018, resulting in close to
8 million flights by 2018;
n about 410 military/special areas;
n some 370 control sectors;
n 14 air traffic control centres (Brussels, Bordeaux, Brest, Marseille, Paris, Reims,
Bremen, Munich, Karlsruhe, Langen, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Geneva and Zürich);
n some 240 airports operating instrument flight rules (IFR);
n 3 major intercontinental hub airports (Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt) and proximity
to the London airports;
n total revenues of about €3,000 million.
Appropriate
civil/military cooperation
and agreement on airspace
design and use will be a
critical element of the
future air traffic
management system.

Aviation journalist Jenny Beechener talks to CANSO, EUROCONTROL
and IATA to find out more about the Flight Efficiency Plan the three
organisations signed last September.
Partnership for performance
The economic downturn has brought a
new dynamic to the ATM business. No
longer can service providers, suppliers
and regulators rely on traffic growth to
sustain revenue levels. If the industry is
to remain profitable, it has to address
the pressing issues of high cost and
inefficient operations, while maintaining
safety levels. Moreover, the industry
faces a growing weight of public opinion
to the effect that emissions are too high
and not enough is being done to counter
them.
The result is a surprising coming together
of the key players to find solutions.
Whether by choice or necessity, the
organisations that depend on aviation
for a living agree that working together
is the way to secure a long-term future
for the industry. The most visible manifestation
of this is the signing by IATA
Director General Giovanni Bisignani,
EUROCONTROL Director General David
McMillan, and CANSO Secretary General
Alexander ter Kuile of the Flight Efficiency
Plan (FEP) in September 2008.
Rocketing oil prices in 2008 prompted
the FEP initiative which aims to reduce
fuel burn and emissions. The financial
crisis put a new slant on the problem, by
cutting the revenue needed to deliver the
solutions that airspace users are calling
for. “The FEP is a way of addressing the
capacity issue – which has not gone
away – and flight efficiency, in a more
pointed way,” explains David McMillan. “It
is urgent. There is a focus within the next
two years to realise plans more quickly
than might otherwise have happened.”
McMillan believes organisational pride
has got in the way in the past. “Actually,
what we need to be about is recognising
that our agendas, although they
may have differences, are very much
the same agenda.” EUROCONTROL
signed a cooperation agreement with
ACI EUROPE in October 2008, and the
two bodies launched a joint action plan
on Airport-Collaborative Decision Making
