Aviation: moving the world Air travel delivers global mobility 2,850 million passengers Carries 35% by value of global trade Wider social and economic benefits Outstanding safety record Source: ATAG
Asia Pacific Diverse geographic region Home to more than 4 billion people 62% of the world s population Generates 27% of global GDP Wide range of income levels Dynamic economies delivering global growth Aviation widely recognised as a key contributor to economic and social development Political diversity remains challenging: need for multilateral cooperation

Global ATM
Keeping pace with growth ATM complex Requires collaboration and commitment Highly capable under utilised aircraft NextGen - progressing Single European Sky (SES) More than a decade since proposal adopted All initiatives to achieve a harmonised and efficient European airspace have so far failed Technology benefits will remain limited until the political constraints resolved Seamless Asian Skies harmonisation and interoperability vital, challenge maintaining implementation plan Technology not the issue. need political will for reform
Cost of No Action Increase in delays and congestion Degradation of aviation safety Lack of capacity for growth Increase in operational costs due to inefficiencies and increased fuel burn Impact the global and national economic activity Inefficient and constrained airspace
Potential savings Expected savings per year if ATM systems and aircraft onboard technology were optimised Regional Savings 22% Global Traffic 1.3 million minutes 2 million tonnes of fuel 6 million tonnes CO2 Source: ATAG/Airbus
Asia Pacific ATM
Challenges Asia Pacific largest market - diverse regional ASNPs Immediate ATM challenges are associated with growth and capacity Can the region handle the projected increase in air traffic? No overarching framework to operate within to drive change Funding Challenge to introduce new technology and procedures and ensure interoperability and harmonisation To address the challenge ICAO established the ASPAC Seamless ATM Planning Group Timely introduction of the ICAO system block upgrades and regional sub office in Beijing
Political Will and Policy Solutions Growth dependant on safe and efficient air transport system, not possible if system capacity cannot keep pace with traffic demand Provide a framework that enable ANSP accountability and autonomy to plan and invest Recognition that ATM safety and operational efficiency go beyond national airspace/ borders Need for cross border collaboration Enables gate-to-gate operations and optimisation Sharing of industry best practice Benchmarking Improve civil-military coordination Open closed military airspace Will increase capacity and enable direct routing and operational efficiencies
Cost of No Action Degradation of aviation safety Increase in delays and congestion Lack of capacity to support growth Increase in operational costs due to inefficiencies and increased fuel burn Inefficient and constrained airspace Impact global and national economic activity
Airline Near Term Wish List Address disconnects in ATM/Seamless airspace initiatives between North Asia and rest of Asia Pacific (particularly vis a vis South China Sea, China Japan) Accelerate adoption of PBN especially for enroute implementation of RNP 4 (and RNP 2) and approach NPA (RNP APCH with Baro Vnav), APV, GLS Accelerate ADS-B OUT implementation and Surveillance based separations tying in to current developments in the South China Sea/Australia Regional thinking and solutions required with Seamless/Interoperable procedures that looks at the complete routing or gate to gate
Closing Thoughts Aviation is part of everyday modern life and drives global economic and social development Air Transport faces a complex and challenging business environment Overall prospects for long term growth remain bright Do nothing is not an ATM option Harmonised approach difficult but political will and mandate required ATM requires regional thinking and regional solutions that are GLOBALLY harmonized and interoperable Huge potential savings in Fuel and CO2 reductions Shared confidence and optimism about the future
