7. Flow and Capacity Management today
The European Air Traffic structure is a large, intricate network
Different actors, with different and potentially conflicting interests
The Flow Management system must be taken to a new level
Any clear capacity breakthrough??

8. Pave the way for the future
Introduce flexibility in the Flow Management system
Do it in a collaborative Manner
Involve all the relevant partners

9. Flexibility Airlines know better what’s good for them
Local entities can take more immediate actions
Implementation of new tools or operational procedures should be prototyped in small scale but real operational environment

18. Collaboration
“Think European”: Flow Management measures must be implemented collaboratively and in a global manner
Airports operating constraints must be taken into consideration

19. Taking into account Airports constraints

25. En route to en-route A sequence “contract” is defined to de-complexify

26. En route to airport The station keeping contracts are passed on
to upstream centres
The controllers can
delegate separation

calculated (*)

27. Conclusion CDM is a part of a more global concept: . Collaborative ATM
Co-operation is needed not only between different actors, but also within the same category: this is the Single Sky spirit
The implementation approach should be users-oriented, validated via small-scale experiments.
It is the sine qua non condition to safer and more efficient skies
