The Single European Sky and SESAR, the European ATM modernisation programme Patrick Ky, Executive Director 26 May 2010
TODAY S SITUATION IN EUROPE
4 Fragmentation of the European AIrspace
THE CONTEXT Traffic growth cannot be sustained through the current fragmented air navigation services organisation and ageing ATM technologies Organisational and technological leaps urgently required 27 Member States plus neighboring countries Regional response is the only way ahead The Single European Sky legislation provides the necessary framework for a new air navigation services governance in the European region. It is in place since 2004 and has inter alia: Decision-making processes Separation of regulatory and service activities Functional airspace blocks Interoperability regulations
The Single Sky 2: boosting performance The EU adopted in 2009 a legislative package for a performance oriented ATM system in Europe Acceleration of Functional Airspace Blocks (2012) Creation of a Performance Review Board (2010) Designation of a Network Manager (2010) Extension of EASA competence to ATM Development of a Gate to Gate approach Human and social dimension SESAR SES 2 builds a high performance ATM for Europe, including a total system approach with clear and ambitious milestones
THE DECISION FLOW REFORM THE ATM Industrial Consultation Board THE NEEDS 27 Member s States SES committee for decisions SESAR = technological component of the Single European Sky
WHY SESAR?
EUROPEAN (WORLDWIDE) CHALLENGES: Capacity: Air Traffic to double by 2030 Safety: Improvements linked to growth Environment: Growth must be green Operations: Eliminate fragmentation Technology: All above & interoperability
EUROPEAN CHALLENGES: A new Air Traffic Management System is required: For the benefit of all air space users: airlines, business & general aviation, airports, air navigation service providers, military, passengers & citizens
THE 4 GOALS OF SESAR Enabling EU skies to handle 3 times more traffic Improving safety by a factor of 10 Reducing the environmental impact per flight by 10% Cutting ATM costs by 50%
SESAR IS ORGANISED IN THREE PHASES: Definition phase Resulted in the European ATM Master Plan Development phase Managed by the SESAR Joint Undertaking Based on the Master Plan, results in standards, new operational procedures, new technologies and pre-industrial components Deployment phase Implements the results of the development phase, delivers the performance increase foreseen in the ATM Master Plan 2015-2025 2006-2008 2008-2014
WHAT IS SESAR?
ONE SINGLE MANAGEMENT: THE SESAR JOINT UNDERTAKING EUROPEAN COMMISSION EUROCONTROL THE INDUSTRY = public-private partnership Created by the European Union Council Reg. N 219/2007 700 mio 700 mio 700 mio 2 founding members 3 rd founding member Budget: 2.1 billion (over 8 years) Public-Private Partnership Innovation from private sector Public financial stability & enforcement power Members from EU and other countries having signed an agreemeent with the EC in aviation
A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
UNIQUE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
SJU INVOLVES ALL ACTORS A Multi-Stakeholders approach at the heart of our way of working Airports Ground Industry Airborne Industry Air Navigation Service Providers Staff associations Airspace users National Authorities R&D community
SESAR is a pillar of the Single European Sky SESAR will deliver harmonised ATC systems and operational procedures, facilitating seamless operations in the Single European Sky SESAR will participate in increasing performance of the Single European Sky SESAR standards will be mandated through EU legislation

THE PROGRAMME IS IN FAST PROGRESS 16 Members & about 70 companies on board 1,500 engineers & experts working today on SESAR More than 300 projects Average project: Duration 4 years Budget 7M
18 airlines, airports, air navigation service providers and manufacturers Examples of SESAR work through partnership: AIRE & OPTIMI 1,152 commercial flight trials performed in 2009 Trial demonstrations in five locations Close co-operation with US
OPTIMI (1) OCEANIC POSITION TRACKING IMPROVEMENT & MONITORING Mandate from EC to SJU after the June 2009 AF accident Demonstrating feasibility of oceanic tracking services at a reasonable cost and within a limited timeframe (2011) Air Ground down linking of safety data also considered Based on existing technology (ADS-C, CPDLC, FDR, CVR, ) Taking on board SAT COM elements Focus on AOC - ATS SAR interrelation procedures 13 ANSPs, Airlines, Manufacturing Industries SATCOM providers Page 27
OPTIMI (2) LOT 2 LOT 1 Flight demos in NAT Region Baseline Implementation Feasibility ~Finished by July ~Finished by August ~Finished by Sept. Baseline reviewed ATC Global 2 nd deliverable to be finished in next days Phased Approach Specific CBA session foreseen June Workshop foreseen October 28
CONCLUSION ATM Modernisation is a worldwide challenge Regional solutions must be interoperable Technical discussions have started, under the EU political umbrella We welcome initiatives to initiate dialogue with Latin America
