| 15 companies ready to join the SESAR Joint Undertaking
Brussels, 8 December. The SESAR Joint Undertaking, a unique publicprivate
partnership in air traffic management research and development,
was inaugurated today in Brussels. Fifteen companies are ready to join this
EUR 2.1 billion programme, which is the first of its kind in aviation history.
The SESAR JU is now poised to tackle its vital mission: to develop a
modernised air traffic management system for Europe, which will prevent
crippling congestion of the European sky and reduce the environmental
impact of air transport.
The ceremony was hosted by Dominique Bussereau, French Minister for
Transport, representing the Council of the European Union, Antonio Tajani,
Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for
Transport, and David McMillan, Director General of EUROCONTROL, in the
presence of 300 representatives of the European air transport community.
The SESAR programme came to life with the acknowledgment that Europe’s
current air traffic control systems will soon be unable to cope with the growth in
flight movements, the number of which will double by 2030. In 2007, about 10
million flights were recorded, whilst the most likely scenario according to the
EUROCONTROL report “Challenges of Growth” is an average growth of 2.7% a
year between now and 2030, i.e. 20.4 million flights by 20301. At the same time,
environmental awareness is rising, prompting the need for more efficient
operations and better technology. The EU’s Single European Sky legislation has
taken jurisdiction over air traffic management matters to Community level in a
drive to coordinate the critically needed upgrade of European ATM systems.
