The European Airspace is fragmented and will become more and more congested, as traffic is forecast to grow steadily over the next 15 years. The main objective of the Single European Sky (SES) is to dramatically change the European ATM (Air Traffic Management) by 2020. The European Commission and Eurocontrol funded the SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) project, which is currently developing the Master Plan together with airspace users manufacturers and air navigation service providers for the ATM in 2020.
EBAA is actively participating in the definition and implementation phase of SESAR and fully endorses the ATM master plan with specific attention paid to BusAv needs.
EBAA believes that a CNS / ATM (Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Systems for Air Traffic Management) paradigm shift is essential and is convinced that SESAR has the potential to deliver improved access at lower cost, as well as benefiting the environment through lower emissions.
