8.0 Million Flights
16.0 Million Flights
Traffic tripled over last 25 years
Traffic will double over next 20 years
1.5 million flights will go
un-accommodated
if extra capacity is
not provided
Delays
27.7 million minutes of delays (2010) costing €2.0 Bn.
20% of flights will be delayed by 2020 if system is not modernised

Environment
•
Top of political
agenda
•
Aviation must
continue to make
significant effort to
reduce its impact on
environment
Airports and the
Network
Airports and the Network
•
Runway and Airport capacity limitations can
block growth
•
Need to make more efficient use of existing
capacity
– Efficient surface management
– Connectivity with ATM Network
•
•
Airports are a key component of ATM Network
Must integrate airports into the Network
Airport constraints
Flights in Europe - 2030
• In most-likely scenario (C), 2 million flights not accommodated
Airports are a small but persistent
source of primary delay

Meeting the Challenges
R&D within a Framework
The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
SESAR
The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
Single European Sky (SES) Framework
•
•
To address defragmentation
Legislation adopted by EU Council and Parliament
– 20 April 2004, amended November 2009.
•
4 SES Regulations
Interoperability
Airspace
Service Provision
Framework
Performance-driven
Single European Sky ATM Research
(SESAR)
A new ATM System is required
Needs:
SESAR
•
•
Turn off fragmented approach
•
Technical/operational change,
supported by Single European Sky
legislation
•
Synchronise plans and actions
•
•
Public Private Partnership
•
Address European needs and Global
interoperability
Accelerate evolution in response
to challenges
– from research to operations
Direct involvement of aviation
industry in all phases
SESAR Joint Undertaking
•
Public-private partnership to manage the SESAR Development Phase
– Execute the European ATM Master Plan
– One single ATM R&D programme in Europe
•
Innovation from private sector
•
Public financial stability & enforcement power
•

NEXTGEN
The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
NEXTGEN ARRANGEMENTS
•
•
Strong regulatory basis – FAA is Regulator and manages
NextGen programme
Funding
– Lacks a permanent spending bill
– FAA Reauthorisation and Reform Act of 2011 passed in the U.S.
House of Representatives on April 1, 2011 included a critical
amendment authorising a public-private partnership (PPP)
•
FAA governance supported by the NextGen Advisory Committee
(NAC)
– FAA can solicit a consensus-based set of recommendations
– Forum to obtain a commitment of resources and/or synchronised
planning between government and industry
– Identify opportunities for industry participation in NextGen
implementation.
SESAR/NEXTGEN COOPERATION
•
European and US authorities agreement on
the cooperation of SESAR and NextGen.
– Agreement is technical annex to European Commission
and US Federal Aviation Administration memorandum of
co-operation for civil aviation research and
development.
– Contributes to essential standardisation of ATM
systems, to be pursued through the International Civil
Aviation Organisation.
– Interoperability essential for airspace users operating in
US and EU airspaces.
Regulatory Impact of SESAR and
NextGen on Airports
•
•
•
Through SESAR and Next Gen, EC and FAA will
define areas in which Airports need to focus their
investments
The SESAR and NextGen Standardisation and
Regulatory Roadmaps will provide the basis for a
more global approach
EC and FAA will work with ICAO in attempt to
establish a global Regulatory Roadmap – On ANC12
Agenda
– Airports will be consulted through normal EASA/EC
Rulemaking processes
•
Total estimated cost for SESAR deployment in Europe
is 30 Billion Euro
– Covers aircraft, ATM Airport and military equipage costs
SESAR versus NEXTGEN (1)
•
•
Both benefit from established regulatory frameworks
•
•
Programmes share similar aims
Europe more fragmented but USA and FAA face same
issues of buy-in and governance complications
SESAR
– stable funding
– EUROCONTROL’s expertise at its core
•
NEXTGEN
– unstable funding to date
– PPP?
SESAR versus NEXTGEN (2)
•
SESAR
– stable funding
– time limited – what happens post-2016?
– EUROCONTROL’s expertise at its core
•
NEXTGEN
– unstable funding to date
– greater longevity
Conclusions
•
•
•
Capacity requires ATM network-wide actions
Airports can impede traffic growth
SESAR and NEXTGEN will facilitate the
definition of global and regional regulatory
requirements for airports
– regulatory roadmaps
•
•
Airports to be integrated in the overall network
Europe and FAA both pro-active in achieving a
common set of equipment and procedures
