2. What is SESAR?
SESAR is the European program for air traffic management infrastructure modernisation.
SESAR aims at the development of the next generation air traffic control system.

3. SESAR goals Capacity x3 Safety x 10 Environmental impact -10%
ATM cost per flight -50%

4. SESAR Concept

5. SESAR Roadmap 2004 2008 Definition 2013-16 Development 2020 >
Define technological steps, priorities and operational implementation plans
Development
Develop new systems and standards through well defined and coherent R&D activities
2020 >
Implementation
Implement the new system through large-scale production and implementation of the new ATM infrastructure

6. project BridgeT ... a first step to the SESAR concept
Trajectory Based Operations
the pillar of future EU & US Air Traffic Management

7. BridgeT TRAJECTORY BASED OPERATIONS
Dutch-Swedish initiative
LFV: Air Traffic Control Sweden
KDC: KLM, Schiphol, LVNL, NLR

8. 5-10% Key driver for BridgeT Potential efficiency improvement of ATM
...less fuel burn
...less emissions
BridgeT: develop & demonstrate
the technology required to achieve this

9. Innovations Operations nearest to airline optimum
predictability / punctuality
user preferred routes
Increase process automation
reduce workload
enable operations optimisation
Improve information sharing
accurate & valid flight information
available for all actors (airlines, air traffic control, airports...)
efficiency is beneficial for all stakeholders & environment
fuel burn, emissions, noise

10. How does it work?

11. KLM & SAS trial flights under preparation

12. Remove existing air traffic control borders ...

13. ... using a new “intranet” ...

14. ... so we can better plan ahead, fly undisturbed ...

15. ... make air traffic more predictable ...

16. ... so we arrive on the agreed time ...

17. ...with less fuel burn, noise & emissions!
