IATA outlined (18-Jul-2019) the following measures for the European Commission, European governments and air navigation service providers (ANSP) to address efficiency and environmental issues in European airspace:
- Reform outdated work practices so that staff can be deployed where they are required and recruit additional staff as needed to fill any gaps;
- Modernise air traffic management (ATM) infrastructure and implement the ‘Airspace Architecture’ programme;
- Continue deployment of the ‘Single European Sky ATM Research‘, which airlines have invested in;
- Empower EUROCONTROL to plan and configure the network to meet the demands of air travellers;
- Penalise ANSPs which fail to deliver agreed capacity targets under the ‘European Performance and Charging Scheme’. [more – original PR]
