Thousands of direct jobs have been created in the air and on
the ground along with many more indirect jobs, particularly in
the tourism and aircraft manufacturing sectors. And as air
transport continues to grow faster than all the other modes of
transport, airports are increasingly becoming hubs of rail and
road traffic and centres of considerable economic activity in
their own right. But while this world of rapid development
and the emergence of ‘airport cities’ represent great potential
for growth and job creation, the pressures on safety, security,
air traffic control, infrastructure and environment continue to

mount and the Commission is looking to work with Europe’s
airports to find solutions.
Developing the air traffic management (ATM) system to
accommodate growth is essential. With the Single European
Sky initiative, the EU has gathered all parties involved in ATM
together with the aim of creating a seamless and efficient
system and introducing new technology to support air traffic
management in the 21st century. The Single European Sky
addresses the need to guarantee safety in the skies and to
optimise cost-efficiency of air traffic services, whilst also
providing the capacity to avoid delays and to sustain the longterm
growth of air transport in Europe. The regulatory
framework for the Single European Sky was agreed upon in
2004, and we are now in the process of specifying the
detailed rules to ensure these objectives.
The Commission is working in parallel on ‘Sesar’ the
technological component of the Single European Sky, which
will give rise to a new generation ATM system for Europe. A
first ‘Definition Phase’ involving industry, the Commission and
EUROCONTROL started in November 2005 and will progress
over the next two years to provide a road map for the
development of the system until 2020. The ‘Implementation
Phase’ will use all the regulatory and funding means available
to support the introduction of new technology across the
whole EU.
Air transport not only faces challenges in the air but also
on the ground. It is becoming increasingly clear that, unless
decisive action is taken, airports will become the main
bottlenecks in our air transport system. Some European hubs
are already facing saturation and environmental limitations.
As a first step in tackling this issue, the Commission has
kicked off a ranging consultation about the best way to deal
with these constraints. We must make better use of existing
capacity and reinforce safety at our busy airports.
The European Commission, EUROCONTROL and ACI EUROPE
need to continue to collaborate both in Europe and at global
level to find solutions for the safe and sustainable
development of air transport. Dialogue will enhance coordination
between operations on the ground and in the air,
such as co-ordination between airport slots and flow
management slots. A comprehensive, co-ordinated, properly
run and well-planned ATM system, whilst helping to solve
congestion problems, can also make all the difference in
safety terms or when coping with air transport crises resulting
from security threats.
While we can take pride in our achievements so far, much
remains to be done. I believe that we need to continue and
enhance our co-operation in order to accommodate growth
in a responsible manner and to allow the air transport system
to continue to bring Europeans together.

TOWARDS A
GLOBAL STRATEGY
By Dr Assad Kotaite, President of the Council, International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)
lobal air transport is fundamentally sound and
remarkably safe. The fact that 2003 and 2004 are
recognised as the safest years since 1945 is fitting
testimony to the on-going efforts of the world aviation
community to ensure the safe and orderly development of
international civil aviation.
And yet, the fatal air accidents of this past summer, which
claimed the lives of hundreds of nationals from European and
other countries, were a timely reminder that full
implementation and systematic enforcement of ICAO
provisions and policies are essential to aviation safety.
