‘Volatility’ in the ATM context Economics: measure of risk and opportunity New term in the ATM context - clear definition? Used to refer to changes in traffic demand Due to varying causes and over varying time horizons Political crises, airspace closures, weather phenomenon, changes in route charges, etc. In ATM it addresses the level of variability of traffic demand in time and space - not a new phenomenon www.eurocontrol.int/ansperformance
Expectations of the ATM community (ICAO) The global ATM system should exploit the inherent capacity to meet airspace user demands at peak times and locations while minimizing restrictions on traffic flow.

What has changed ? Why is variability in demand more of an issue today? What makes management of capacity different today? Why are we taken by surprise? www.eurocontrol.int/ansperformance
