Air Traffic Management (ATM)

By Raúl MEDINA,
Director General, EUROCONTROL

This paper provides a high-level overview of some of the principal challenges facing Air Traffic Management (ATM). It explains that air traffic control is a natural monopoly that nevertheless facilitates competition among the various actors in the air transport industry. ATM provides airspace capacity to meet traffic demand. The paper provides the latest historical and forecast air traffic statistics, confirming that it will take seven years for European air traffic to fully recover from the pandemic.
Airspace capacity must be provided in a safe, secure, cost-efficient, and sustainable manner to meet demand. Doing so is complex and becomes particularly challenging in the face of external events, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, whose impact on ATM is described. The long-term challenges of the decarbonization and digitalization of ATM are addressed, as well as the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with some examples provided of how ATM is adapting.
