It is responsible for air traffic management in Europe. Its goals are to:
 heighten air traffic safety
 increase airspace capacity
 reduce air traffic delay
 enhance the cost-effectiveness of the air traffic management system
 minimise the effect of aviation on the environment.
Originally founded in 1960 as a civil/military international organisation to deal with air traffic control
on a European level, EUROCONTROL is now a world-leader, pioneering advancement in air traffic management
technology, operational procedures and system interoperability.
EUROCONTROL aims to develop a seamless air traffic management system for the entire European
continent; a system which processes almost 60% of the world's international flights.
With more than 2,000 experts based in seven European countries, EUROCONTROL’s core business
activities are to:
 define and manage pan-European programmes for Air Traffic Management
 conduct research and development work aimed at increasing Air Traffic Control safety and capacity
in Europe
 operate a Central Flow Management Unit
 collect route charges on behalf of Member States and through bilateral agreements with non-Member
States – €5.6 billion was billed in 2003
 provide training, education and the transfer of knowledge in Air Navigation Services, across the
European continent and beyond
 provide Air Traffic Services through the management of an international Air Traffic Control Centre
at Maastricht in the Netherlands for four States and the development of another centre for eight
states in Central Europe.
Working closely with Member States, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users,
airports, the aerospace industry, professional organisations and European institutions, EUROCONTROL
is committed to ensuring that airspace users and passengers can continue to benefit from a safe,
reliable and efficient air transport system.
