require particular harmonisation and modelling efforts. An open
and interactive information exchange platform would also allow
the down-linking of meteorological data resulting from in-flight
observation, which, in turn, offers great potential to enhance the
quality of MET services. “The better the observation, the better
the forecast,” says Reid. “A greater use of digital data links from
aircraft to ground would help,” he adds.
The availability of more accurate meteorological
information could contribute to the mitigation of the
environmental impact of some aspects of air transport, for
instance, through the integration of MET data in complex
models, which would help pilots identify the most fuelefficient
and least intrusive terminal descent procedures.
Meteorology can also be used to predict the location of
contrails and adjust flight paths to avoid their accumulation
and the creation of artificial persistent cirrus clouds, which
contribute to global warming.
“Air Traffic Management and meteorological communities
must co-operate to create and ensure the smooth operation
of tomorrow’s sustainable ATM system in Europe,” Reid
explains. EUROCONTROL is striving to act as a facilitator for the
joint efforts, which will need to be undertaken, he concludes.

WHAT IS EUROCONTROL?

EUROCONTROL overview
EUROCONTROL is an intergovernmental organisation,
established in 1960, to develop a seamless, pan-European Air
Traffic Management (ATM) system for its six founding Member
States (Belgium, Germany, France, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands and the United Kingdom).
Today, EUROCONTROL works on behalf of its 37 Member
States* to pioneer advances in ATM technology, operational
procedures and system interoperability.
EUROCONTROL mission
EUROCONTROL’s mission is to harmonise and integrate air
navigation services in Europe, aiming at the creation of a
uniform ATM system for civil and military users, in order to
achieve the safe, orderly, expeditious and economic flow of
traffic throughout Europe.
To achieve its mission, EUROCONTROL works closely with
Member States, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), civil
and military airspace users, airports, the aerospace industry,
professional organisations and European institutions.
EUROCONTROL’s specific goals are to:
• Raise air traffic safety levels
• Increase airspace capacity
• Reduce air traffic delays
• Enhance the air traffic management system’s
cost-effectiveness
• Minimise the impact of air traffic on the environment.
EUROCONTROL activities
With some 2,500 experts based in seven European countries,
EUROCONTROL’s core activities are:
1. Design of the European ATM network. EUROCONTROL
works together with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure
that the European ATM system develops along the lines laid
down in the ATM 2000+ Strategy and in agreement with the
aims of the Single European Sky (SES).
Design of the European ATM network covers ATM
strategies and concepts (developed in the European ATM
programmes in Brussels); research, development and
simulation (carried out at the EUROCONTROL Experimental
Centre – EEC – at Brétigny-sur-Orge in France) and
specialised training (at the Institute of Air Navigation
Services – IANS – Luxembourg).
Activities are grouped into the following areas:
• Strategic planning and monitoring
• Communications, navigation and surveillance
• Safety, human factors, security and the environment
• Network efficiency improvements
• Sector productivity
• Airport operations
• Innovative research
2. Pan-European functions. By definition, EUROCONTROL’s
work is carried out on a European level, with the aim of
maximising the safety and efficiency of the civil and military
ATM networks. Substantial economies of scale are gained by
working on a pan-European basis. EUROCONTROL brings
essential added value through its impartial, transparent and
accessible services.
The dynamic management of air traffic flows in the
short-, medium- and long-term is carried out by the
Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU), which began
operations in 1995, paving the way for a common
European Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management
(ATFCM) System within a uniform European ATM System.
Key interdependent functions include flow and capacity
management, flight planning, airspace data operations and
