EUROCONTROL has released its implementation plan for short-term airspace structure improvements for the Summer 2010 season.
It includes 217 packages of airspace changes developed over the past year, each of which will contribute to improved performance of European Air Traffic Management.
Continuous upgrading of the route network and supporting ATC sectorisation in Europe is needed to meet the capacity and flight efficiency needs of air traffic and cater for the changing patterns of traffic flows.
The implementation plan says that by the end of the Summer season, flying distances will have reduced by approximately 20 000 nautical miles each day, saving the airlines 40 000 tons of fuel and reducing CO2 emissions by 140 000 tons over a 12 month period. Read more»
