ATM plan agreed
SESAR JU leaders have approved the 2015 European air traffic management (ATM) master strategy.
The latest edition of the plan approved by the Joint Undertaking’s administrative board presents the SESAR vision of ATM, as well as details the development and deployment activities necessary to achieve such an ideal between now and 2035.
The master plan is set within the framework of the Single European Sky, and is the main European planning tool for defining ATM modernisation priorities and ensuring SESAR solutions become a reality. Both pragmatic and ambitious in its design, according to SESAR, the plan also provides a high level view of what is needed in order to deliver a high performing aviation system for Europe.
It also sets the framework for the related development and deployment activities, ensuring that all phases of the SESAR lifecycle remain connected.
Henrik Hololei, director general of DG MOVE and chair of the SESAR administrative board, said: “This latest edition of the master plan is an important milestone in European and global ATM modernisation.
“With a clear vision and common roadmap, the plan succeeds in connecting performance and technology, thereby offering stakeholders an important tool for preparing their future investment decisions.”
The plan was developed over 12 months with the input of SESAR JU founding members and other aviation stakeholders.
