Editorial Editorial
Dear readers,
Global aviation is passing through an
area of severe turbulence. Traffic and load
factors are decreasing, while costs are going up and the outlook
for the immediate term is not positive. The forecast for this year is
a 5% decline in traffic across Europe affecting all sectors, including
the low-cost and business aviation markets.
As a result, our industry is under increasing pressure to deliver
safe and cost-efficient operations while taking proper account of
aviation’s impact on the environment.
As the ATM scene has changed globally, at EUROCONTROL
we have taken action on both the internal and external fronts to
reflect the changes.
Internally, we are changing our own Organisation’s structure.
While EUROCONTROL continues to be an intergovernmental
Organisation, the governance on all matters relating to, or
supporting service provision will increasingly come from industry,
including air navigation service providers and airspace users. At
the same time, we are playing our part in delivering efficiencies
and reducing costs.
On the external front, we are fully committed to working with
our partners in order to secure a long-term future for our industry
and this cooperation is bringing tangible results and is very
extensive.
The Flight Efficiency Plan we developed with IATA and CANSO
last year, which is extensively covered in this edition of Skyway, is
a very good example of this – and one that has already achieved
estimated savings of some €5 million. Responding to the financial
and economic crises which have cut the revenue needed to
deliver the solutions being called for by the airspace users, the
Plan addresses the capacity issue and flight efficiency in a more
purposive way.
Another good example of this kind of cooperation is our joint
working plan with ACI EUROPE. Within this framework, the two
organisations will work on implementing collaborative ground
processes, such as collaborative decision-making (CDM). This will
allow for a more efficient and fully optimised use of existing airport
