viation is at a turning point. Opportunities and
challenges abound – new types of carrier, new types
of aircraft, rising energy prices, a constantly growing
demand for air travel, ecological concerns: all these factors
have to be taken into account in developing an air traffic
management (ATM) system for the future that is safe, costeffective
and reliable.
EUROCONTROL’s goal is to develop just this kind of flexible
and efficient system, in collaboration with all partners in the
European air transport industry.
After concentrated effort over the last 15 years, en-route
delay is gradually coming under control. Yet the share of
overall air traffic delay attributed to airports over the last
few years has remained more or less constant. Airports are
tipped to become the next area of constraint in the overall

system and EUROCONTROL is working closely with ACI
EUROPE, amongst others, to help airports make the best
possible use of available capacity as well as looking at
innovative solutions for the future.
It is a formidable challenge to achieve more
environmentally sustainable air traffic and airport operations
while meeting safety, security, capacity and economic
requirements. The question is, will airports be able to absorb
the higher rates of traffic that are expected?
Many airports are running very close to maximum capacity
right now. There are fears that by 2020, airports will face an
excess demand of around a billion passengers. Furthermore,
a lack of capacity has a definite impact on safety. When
traffic doubles, risk is quadrupled. This is as true in the air as
it is on the ground – so our efforts to increase safety must
be maintained, across the board.
Sharp increases in traffic will also affect the airport’s
environment. Society is growing increasingly critical and
sometimes intolerant of the impact that air transport has on
the environment in general, and airports are all too
frequently the focus of this discontent. So the main issue is
to maximise airport throughput in the safest, most
environmentally neutral way possible.
Although there is latent capacity that can be used so that
airports realise their maximum potential, creative ways have
to be found to allow airports to safely accommodate future
growth. The key to doing this is, we believe, to foster the
climate of co-operation between all stakeholders in airport
operations. In order to continue to provide the capacity that
is needed so badly, we have to work together. The only way
forward is for us to work as a network. This is a concept that
EUROCONTROL is making central to all developments.
The next ATM system, I believe, will be based on these
factors, amongst others:
• broad exchange of information
• a sharing of separation responsibility
• collaborative decision making amongst all the stakeholders
• greater automation and support tools for controllers
• regional networks of CNS service provision
• a global navigation satellite system with different
constellations
Airports are becoming an increasingly important part of the
ATM network. Airports and air traffic management will have to
work more closely together in the future, sharing
responsibilities and concerns – particularly as far as safety and
the environment are concerned.
Of course, one condition is that the systems we develop
are globally interoperable. EUROCONTROL is working with
partners across the planet to ensure that advances are made
in tandem. By collaborating in progressively closer harmony,
