EUROCONTROL . THE EUROPEAN
ORGANISATION FOR THE SAFETY
OF AIR NAVIGATION
EUROCONTROL is an intergovernmental organisation
with 34 Member States and has as its primary
objective the development of a seamless,
pan-European Air Traffic Management (ATM)
System. More specifically its goals are to:
仭 heighten air traffic safety
仭 increase airspace capacity
仭 reduce air traffic delays
仭 enhance the air traffic management system乫s
cost-effectiveness
仭 minimise the effect of air traffic on the
environment
Originally founded in 1960 as a civil/military international
organisation dealing with air traffic control
at a European level, EUROCONTROL is now a
world leader, pioneering advances in air traffic
management technology, operational procedures
and system interoperability.
With approximately 2,400 experts based in seven
European countries, EUROCONTROL乫s core activities
are based on four main pillars:
仭 Cooperative network design covering ATM
strategies and concepts (EATM), research and
development (EEC) and training (IANS)
仭 Pan-European functions such as flow management
(CFMU) and route charges (CRCO)
仭 Provision of regional air traffic control services
on behalf of Member States requesting such
services (Maastricht UAC and CEATS)
仭 Regulatory activities addressing safety regulation
(ESARRs) and supporting EC regulation
through the drafting of implementing rules for
the Single European Sky
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, expeditious and efficient air transport
system.
