Future Airport

Future Airport 2007 Issue 1

In this edition of Future Airport, and in support of the ATC Maastricht conference, we focus on the ever-evolving ATM landscape. As the healthy levels of traffic experienced pre-security concerns return, so do the issues of capacity and airspace management.

Eurocontrol explain their vision of a seamless traffic management system, explaining the need for convergence between European and US architecture, with the single sky initiative. We also have an update on the SESAR project as the consortium provide us with details of the 'Air Transport Framework - The performance Target' report.

Elsewhere in this edition: We hear from BAA who outline the success of their IT integration into the new Terminal 5; Matthais Ruete, director general of DG TREN at the European Commission, outlines the need for effective yet unintrusive regulation within the aviation industry; and Nicholas Sabatini, associate administrator for aviation safety, FAA, explores the redesign of US airspace.
