This yearbook gives us a good
opportunity to glance back at the past –
and look to the future.
Looking back over the last ten years, we
see a traffic increase of over 40 per cent. It
is predicted that 2007 will have 40 per
cent more traffic than 1997, which in turn
had 70 per cent more traffic than 1987.
The latest summer figures for Europe
show an increase of 5.3 per cent. This is
more than was expected, as growth in the
region of 3 per cent had been forecasted.
This growth trend seems certain to
continue. The forecast for 2025 is that
there will be between 15.5 and 18.9
million IFR (Instrument Flight Rules)
movements in Europe – that is, between
1.7 and 2.1 times the traffic handled in
2005. In other words, experts are
expecting the 2005 traffic levels to double
by 2025.
Other factors will intervene, too.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, for instance,
will increasingly require airspace in which
to operate. The advent of Very Light Jets
could lead to more air taxi operations in
Europe; and, of course, the use of low-cost
carriers will grow, as ever more people take
to the air and do so more frequently.
This growth in traffic presents us with
some real challenges – notably in safety,
capacity, efficiency as well as in mitigating
aviation’s impact on the environment.
Safety is the first consideration. When
traffic doubles, risk can grow four-fold if
preventive action is not taken. So safety
performance needs improving if the
number of accidents is not to increase. An
excellent way to bear down on accidents is
to collate reliable data on possible causes
and contributory factors.
EUROCONTROL firmly supports the
establishment of a Just Culture where
incident reports can be made in
confidence. In order to promote this
concept, EUROCONTROL holds

the area of automation, the role of the
human in the system will remain central.
So we need to be ready to involve those
who work in the system in the design of
future approaches. And we must stand
ready to talk frankly and openly about
what future changes could mean for the
way they work. In dealing with these
challenges, as well as putting human
factors firmly at the beginning of any
debate or development, we have to work
in partnership.
As I take up my new duties as Director
General of EUROCONTROL, I am very
conscious of the need to maintain good
relationships with our stakeholders and I
am delighted that we have a particular and
long-standing bond with IFATCA.
workshops, issues guidance material and
conducts meetings with all interested
parties. It has also developed a toolkit to
facilitate confidential reporting.
The second challenge is capacity: delays
are extremely costly and we must do all
that we can to prevent them reaching
unacceptable levels – such as were
witnessed in the 1990s – once again.
The third challenge is efficiency: our
current system remains fragmented and,
coupled with routing inefficiencies, costs
users an additional 20 per cent of total
charges every year.
The final challenge, but by no means
the least, is to mitigate aviation’s impact
on the environment. Political and public
pressure is growing and the aviation
industry has to demonstrate that it is
taking this issue very seriously.
However, plans, regulations or
technology alone cannot solve all our
problems. It is absolutely essential to take
human factors and human engagement
into account in dealing with upcoming
challenges and, in particular, we all need
to be clear that the ATM system of the
future will only work if wholeheartedly
