2. What is IATA?
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is the not-for-profit trade association of airlines.
Our 250 members generate 85% of the total air traffic.

3. Airlines… Asia connects to the World … move people … move goods
… drive economies
… have very small margins
Asia connects to the World

4. Airlines’ Need Minimum Cost Predictability for Network Operation:
aircraft
cabin crew
air crew
Passengers
Cargo
System level Efficiency

5. ASBUs – Enablers to Operational Improvement
Airlines do not need or want you to implement ASBUs [including PBN]…
UNLESS the results
… have achievable operational benefits
… that deliver tangible cost offsets
© IATA (2015)

6. PBN Solutions
Your designs’ benefits must equal or outweigh their costs
Costs

7. PBN Procedures Must Be better than the conventional
Consider fleet capabilities
Deliver benefits:
Safety
Environment
Capacity
Efficiency

8. GANP (2013) states: …
Although the GANP has a worldwide perspective, it is not intended that all Block Modules are required to be applied in every State and region.
Many of the Block Upgrade Modules contained in the GANP are specialized packages that should be applied only where the specific operational requirement exists or corresponding benefits can be realistically projected.

16. Some examples…

17. Atlanta - Toronto Direct route 645 NM great circle
Unreasonable to fly great circle between 2 busy airports

18. Departure… Need ‘structure’ … SID
… to manage departures and arrivals interaction
Then allow UPR
© IATA (2015)

19. Arrival… Need ‘structure’ … STAR … to manage arrivals
Start the STAR where you need it for:
capacity + efficiency
© IATA (2015)

20. Real life 27 May 15 Only 2 waypoints DCT User’s choice
Between SID and STAR

21. Efficient Departures
Designed to get the traffic on course as soon as possible
Conflictions from Arrivals eliminated through design
Uses aircraft nav capabilities (PBN)
© IATA (2015)

22. Efficient Arrivals

23. STAR Links to Approach

24. Multiple Scenarios

25. STAR from North East – Landing East

26. STAR from Northwest

27. SID turns under Arrivals

28. In Asia…
There is a need to reduce the efficiency and capacity impact of small FIRs
Initiatives such as the Asia Pacific Seamless ATM Plan provide the opportunity to provide more efficient operations
Flexible Use of Airspace is also seen as an important aspect of PBN implementations – there is a definite need for civil and military authorities to collaborate with airspace users to improve efficient use of airspace.
