Air transport is growing considerably. In addition to environmental concerns, this growth reveals a mismatch of infrastructures: airport infrastructures are increasingly congested but, more specifically, the current organisation of air traffic management in Europe is despite all the measures taken a key cause of the increased delays. The Community and the Member States are undertaking a genuine reform of air traffic management; this involves first of all strengthening the safety of air transport by a more coherent organisation at the level of the Community, while at the same time complementing traffic growth by releasing capacities as a result of a more efficient use and organisation of airspace. The European Community, with its legal system, its decision-making process, its political control mechanisms and its responsibilities can meet the need for harmonisation of the rules governing airspace usage.With the support of the European Council, a High Level Group has been created, bringing together civilian and military representatives of the Community Member States, together with representatives of Norway and Switzerland. The group has completed its analysis of the situation in November 2000 and recommendations have been laid out in its report.

25,000 aircraft fly through European airspace every day. 00:00:00
One flight in five is delayed by an average of 22 minutes, and most of these delays are 00:00:08
due to airspace congestion. 00:00:13
However, air traffic will double in the next 10 years, and so the problems of delay will 00:00:15
only get worse. 00:00:21
So what can be done to improve the situation? 00:00:23
The problem is fragmentation of European airspace, a veritable patchwork of different systems. 00:00:27
The sky is not one vast infinite space. 00:00:32
Currently, each country is responsible for the sky above it. 00:00:35
Europe today has nearly 70 national and local control centres, which work according to 31 00:00:39
different systems. 00:00:44
Everyone thinks that we fly like birds, from one point to another, in a straight line. 00:00:45
Well, no luck. 00:00:51
For the pilot, you have to be able to juggle, adapt, sneak, sometimes waste time, and have 00:00:52
a workload on vocal communication. 00:01:00
For example, on a flight between Rome and Amsterdam, an aircraft can change course, 00:01:05
fly around military zones, and contact control centres a dozen times. 00:01:10
For each flight, an aircraft needs the green light from all the authorities concerned. 00:01:17
Each authorization gives it a route to follow and an altitude. 00:01:21
Depending on the procedures, the zones to be crossed, and the weather, changes in heading, 00:01:24
speed, and altitude are frequent. 00:01:29
This has a snowball effect, and causes delays to take-offs throughout the day. 00:01:31
The problem with the congestion in the airspace over Europe at the moment is, as a major hub 00:01:36
carrier, KLM, and the other major hub carriers as well, have problems with that the majority 00:01:41
of their passengers are connecting passengers. 00:01:47
So arrival punctuality is most important for us. 00:01:50
And if we lose our arrival punctuality, as was the case in Europe, and is still the case, 00:01:53
we lose our passengers. 00:01:58
So we lose really a lot of money. 00:01:59
The European Commission wants to improve the situation. 00:02:02
It's proposing to harmonize air traffic management to make it more efficient, whilst guaranteeing 00:02:05
the same level of safety as today. 00:02:09
The deadline for establishing new regulations for the European single sky has been set at 00:02:12
the 31st of December 2004. 00:02:16
The task will be to restructure airspace according to traffic demands, and not according 00:02:19
to national borders. 00:02:23
For the Commission, one of the priorities for the European single sky is safety. 00:02:49
Air travel is one of the safest means of transport. 00:03:02
But to guarantee safety, harmonization of systems and stricter regulations are necessary. 00:03:05
Eurocontrol will have an important role to play in this area. 00:03:10
For 40 years, this organization has been coordinating air traffic control with national authorities. 00:03:13
It brings together European specialists in the technical domain, whose expertise will 00:03:20
be used to establish new regulations. 00:03:24
Restructuring and rationalizing European airspace implies cooperation with the other institutions 00:03:50
concerned, particularly the military. 00:03:57
Civil and military authorities already work together in air traffic management. 00:04:20
In future, even closer collaboration will be key. 00:04:24
But faced with the European single sky project, some air traffic controllers are concerned 00:04:27
about the future, and are afraid that liberalization of the skies will put their jobs at risk. 00:04:53
As for fears of job losses at the European level, they're unjustified. 00:05:23
At the European scale, nothing is easy in this domain where technological change will be necessary. 00:05:49
A single sky for Europe is an ambitious project, but it's indispensable as traffic continues to increase. 00:05:54
To achieve it, all key players will have to work closely together. 00:06:00
If they do, they'll be able to build a safe European single sky, whilst reducing flight times 00:06:04
and consequently the delays we experience all too often. 00:06:09
