ATM Master Plan joint industry declaration

10 October 2023: The SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking held their annual conference on 10 October, where industry association handed over a joint declaration regarding the ATM Master Plan update and committed to work together to make European airspace the most efficient and environmentally friendly sky to fly in the world.

With post-COVID traffic expected to return to pre-pandemic levels next year, European ATM faces critical challenges. Overcoming these will be vital for capacity and sustainability.

Associations representing airlines, airports, air navigation service providers, aviation manufacturers and business aviation have therefore committed to joint action, aiming to transform the sector and work together to maximise capacity in the air, whilst further reducing the environmental footprint of flying.

A key technological pathway to this transformation in the coming years is the optimisation of the European air traffic management (ATM) system.

During the SESAR Annual Conference held on 10 October, the associations adopted a joint industry declaration committing to work together to update the EU ATM Master Plan, which serves as the common roadmap for SESAR and to make our industry truly sustainable and more efficient, for the benefit of all Europeans.
