Generating cost-effectiveness
through improved flow
management
EUROCONTROL’s Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU)
generates cost-efficiencies in its pan-European functions
thanks to economies of scale. It also ensures quality throughout
the system and produces the benefits of centralised
operations which ensure coordinated and consistent
activities delivered in a timely manner. This pan-European
perspective will remain essential for optimising the overall
use of the network, particularly in a period when general
budget restrictions highlight the need for economies of
scale across Europe.
The Agency’s continual effort to reduce route restrictions
is a long-term and essential activity. EUROCONTROL made
significant progress in 2008 in reviewing and eliminating
restrictions with national authorities and in disabling
restrictions during low-demand periods (night or winter
seasons). It was also established and accepted that restrictions
throughout Europe are used extensively to limit the
use of airspace and therefore the Agency is addressing this
situation by suggesting enhanced airspace solutions.
In 2008, the CFMU once again experienced significant growth
in customer access to its systems, with approximately 12%
more organisations connecting to one of the available services,
up from 2,100 in 2007 to 2,350 in 2008. The new customers
who subscribed to CFMU services in 2008 are mostly
aircraft operators (42%) and flight handling agents (35%),
followed by air navigation service providers (7%). End-user
queries rose by 24% – up from 96 million in 2007 to 119
million in 2008, along the same trend as previous years. In
parallel, the number of flight plan messages handled by the
CFMU only recorded a 2.6% increase – up from 19 million in
2007 to 19.5 million in 2008, a figure which reflects the stagnation
in traffic growth experienced at the end of 2008.
A significant indication of the steady adoption of new EUROCONTROL
services and operational procedures by network
users is the volume of training activities. Toughening economic
conditions now seem to have affected the training

programmes of the CFMU customers. When comparing
2008 to 2007, the CFMU recorded a 12% decrease in
the volume of traditional training days delivered – from
1,880 to 1,660 days – and a spectacular increase of 40%
for the web-based training activities. This shows that
CFMU customers value online training and that they
use it to reduce their training costs. It is confirmation
that the continuous investment made by the CFMU in
the past four to five years to develop a complete webbased
training offering – also improving the efficiency
of CFMU training resources – is paying off.
Five years of EAD
On 6 June 2008, the European AIS Database (EAD)
Service celebrated five years of successful operations.
EAD went live in 2003 as an online aeronautical information
services database designed to deliver coherent,
quality-assured aeronautical information to air navigation
service providers, airspace users and States.
When EAD was launched, all States in Europe maintained
and updated their own individual record of
worldwide aeronautical information. In effect, it meant
that all States were maintaining databases of the same
information. Today, after five years of operation, more
than 39 countries are contributing to the database, and
75% of participating States maintain their aeronautical
information directly in the database for the benefit of the
continually growing number of recognised professional
data users, which currently stands at 80. In addition, the
public website, EAD Basic, has become a well-known and
an established source of aeronautical information for the
world-wide general aviation community with more than
47,000 registered users. The success of EAD has led to
growing interest among many data users from outside
the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) area, and
the first non-ECAC data providers have now connected
to the database.
Preparing the Agency’s Information System (IS)
architecture for the future
It is generally recognised that the IS architecture is a strategic
information technology discipline. With its unique
central function and bespoke systems, EUROCONTROL
is fully aware that a service-oriented architecture (SOA)
