1. GATE TO GATE PERSPECTIVE & AIRPORTS
Olivier Jankovec, Director General
Implementing the Single European Sky: the way forward
Budapest, 3 March 2011

2. OPERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS
INTEGRATE AIRPORTS INTO AVIATION SYSTEM
Processes & procedures
Technology (SESAR)
Regulation & Governance
CHANGE OF CULTURE!
RISKS & OPPORTUNITIES
Local v. Network
From first come/first served to best equipped/best served
Shift in “Ground governance”
AIRPORTS = GROUND OPERATIONS COORDINATORS

3. POLICY IMPLICATIONS AIRPORT CAPACITY… … NOT ALIGNED WITH ATM CAPACITY
Traffic will still double by 2030 (nearly)
40% capacity increase
(5 new airports & 29 new or extended runways)
… BUT 10% of demand not accommodated!
Unprecedented congestion levels = SES delivery at risk!
… NOT ALIGNED WITH ATM CAPACITY
HLG 2007 report
SES2, 4th pillar = “Managing capacity on the ground”
Declaration of Madrid (Feb 2010)…
…Declaration of Bruges (Oct 2010)

4. ON-GOING WORK & PENDING ISSUES

5. THE WAY FORWARD AIRPORTS = BUSINESSES & PARTNERS
(in their own right)
AIRPORT CAPACITY = KEY TO SUCCESS OF SES2
Optimisation not enough + Competitiveness (v. Asia)
Need for political visibility & commitment
Total system approach & Gate to Gate…
… from operational concept to policy concept
