  1. SINGLE EUROPEAN SKY ACAC Tripoli 3-4 November 2008

  2. Single European Sky Outline of this presentation: • Single European Sky background • Single European Sky current situation and achievements • Single European Sky second legislative package

  3. Single European Sky: Reasons • After the liberalisation of traffic in 1990s EU experienced a level of unprecedented deterioration in on-time performance of air carriers • One of the reasons identified was the underperformance of the ATM systems: ageing technologies and systems will face considerable traffic increase by 2020 • Other important reason:fragmentation of European skies (markets highly protected) • High Level Group report in November 2000 • The EU responded with an ambitious regulatory initiative

  4. SESSituation of ATM in Europe in 2003 European airspace is fragmented according to national borders rather than adapted to real traffic flows More than 60 Area Control Centres in Europe in 2003

  5. SESSituation of ATM in Europe in 2003 Sectors and routes are designed according to national borders

  6. SESSituation of ATM in Europe in 2003 Traffic is still expected to grow, and even to double between 1997 and 2020

  7. SES: Legal Basis • SES legislative package was adopted by the EU Council and European Parliament and entered into force in April 2004: • Framework Regulation • Service Provision Regulation • Airspace Regulation • Interoperability Regulation • http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air_portal/traffic_management/ses/legislation_en.htm

  8. SES: Objectives • To restructure European airspace as a function of air traffic flows, rather than according to national borders • To create additional capacity • To increase the overall efficiency of the ATM system • To enhance safety standards

  9. SES: Features • The Single Sky Legislation reforms the organisation of civil aviation authorities & air navigation service provision in Europe • Institutional measures: • Separation of regulatory activities from service provision, establishment of National Supervisory Authorities (oversight) • Common requirements for ANSP, certification & designation • Bodies which manage implementation (SSC, ICB) involving all stakeholders (staff, military, industry, ICAO) • Financed by uniform system of charging • Interoperability of the European ATM Network (of systems, constituents and associated procedures)

  10. SES: Features 2 • New airspace architecture: • Setting-up of cross-border functional airspace blocks (FABs) • European Upper Flight Information Region • Harmonisation of FL division level and of airspace classification, common principles and criteria for route & sector design • Flexible Use of Airspace • Rules for Air Traffic Flow Management • Air Traffic Controller License • Geographical scope:SES now includes 38 States (EU-27, ECAA, Switzerland, Morocco)

  11. SES

  12. SES: Who Does What • EU Regulations • Proposed by the European Commission • Decided/approved by EU Council of Ministers and European Parliament • Secondary law (application of EU Regulations) • Legislation and mandates are decided by Single Sky Committee (SSC) on the basis of European Commission proposals • Technically developed by Eurocontrol through mandates • SSC: States (civil and military) plus observers (Eurocontrol, ICAO) • Industrial Consultation Body (industry and stakeholders) advices European Commission

  13. SES: Achievements I • Legal and institutional framework in place • Single Sky Committee assists the Commission in adopting the enabling legislation through commitology with civil/military participation, EASA, ICAO and 3rd countries • Industry Consultation Body enables all industry stakeholders and social partners to contribute to legislation • Technical support from Eurocontrol in the rulemaking process through mandates

  14. SES: Achievements II • Separation of service provision from regulation • Each Member State has established a National Supervisory Authority (NSA) to ensure effective regulation and to avoid conflict of interests. NSAs are also exercising a safety oversight function • Since 20 June 2007, air navigation service providers have become subject to certification by the NSAs • Transparency of charges • A common charging scheme ensuring full transparency in the establishment of air navigation service charges

  15. SES: Achievements III • Harmonisation in licensing of controllers • Harmonised level of competence and an improved mobility of workers (Important social dimension as there are i.e. 16.500 ATM controllers within the EU) • Advances in the efficient use of airspace • Common provisions for the flexible use (civil and military) of airspace • Harmonisation of airspace classification in the upper airspace above FL 195: classified now as Class C Airspace

  16. SES: Achievements IV • Towards interoperable equipment • An effective interoperability mechanism has been established to adopt implementing rules (Regulations) and to develop Community specifications (Standards) • So far 4 implementing rules & 4 Community specifications have been adopted • Indispensable mechanism for the efficient implementation of SESAR

  17. SES: Situation of ATM in Europe in 2007 • > 10 Mil GAT flights in 2007 (for the 1st time!) • Variation 2007/2006: +5.3% Europe (+6.6% World) • Punctuality remains at acceptable level (22% arrival delays>15 mins) but ATFM delay target (1 min/flight) not met for 2nd consecutive year (1.6 min/flight in 2007)

  18. SES: New Context I • Environment • Aviation’s share of EU greenhouse gas emissions (currently 3%) is predicted to increase • Average flight route 50 km too long: CO2 5 Mil Tons • Improved ATM & airport operations could reduce emissions by 7-12% per flight • Fragmentation • Significant additional costs for airspace users : ACCs below optimal economic size, duplication of systems & piecemeal procurement, high contingency costs, support costs on research, training & admin too high

  19. SES: New Context II • Capacity • Very important increase of traffic within the next 20 years with EU enlargement and Open Skies agreements • Economics - Performance • Cost efficiency improvements are not sufficient: • Estimated cost > € 4 Bil per year • Fragmentation of ATM Network & productivity € 2 Bil • Non-optimized flights € 1 Bil • Delays € 1.3 Bil

  20. SES: New Context III Amsterdam – Milan Number of flights per year : 3468 Extra distance flown per flight: 155 km / 22,6% Extra fuel burn per flight: 448 kg Extra CO2 produced per flight: 1413 kg

  21. London – Madrid Number of flights per year : 4596 Extra distance flown per flight: 123 km / 10.8% Extra fuel burn per flight: 391 kg Extra CO2 produced per flight: 1233 kg

  22. SES: A New System is Required ! • Therefore if… • Air traffic volumes rise constantly • Insufficient capacity & obsolescence of current ATM systems • Insufficient economic gains • Increasing environmental concerns • We need more harmonized procedures & a better/suitable technology to tackle the challenges ahead

  23. SES: Second Legislative Package • Will be based on 4 pillars • PERFORMANCE: SES • TECHNOLOGY: SESAR • SAFETY: EASA • CAPACITY: Network + “Gate-to-Gate”

  24. SES: Second Legislative Package • PERFORMANCE • Introduction of a performance-driven approach and regulation, including an independent performance review body at Community level • Performance regulation with specific European targets • Introduction of a Network management function, responsible for the optimization of the European route design, the management of scarce resources and planning of SESAR deployment • Acceleration of the creation of Functional Airspace Blocks

  25. SES: Second Legislative Package • PERFORMANCE • Implementing rule to describe process, choice of indicators, balance between performance areas • Involvement industry and social partners in the process at network and local levels – reinforced social dialogue • Balance local with network requirements • Member States involved in target setting and responsible for corrective actions • Strengthen governance of actors in the process • Performance Review Body fully independent • National Supervisory Authorities competent to manage performance regulatory process • EASA to guarantee high safety levels • ANSPs to meet performance targets – ideally in FAB context

  26. SES: Second Legislative Package • FUNCTIONAL AIRSPACE BLOCKS (FABs) • FAB as tools for performance • Maintain bottom-up approach • FAB’s about synergies between service providers: economies of scale • 2012 as ultimate deadline • Extend scope to lower airspace • Framework to facilitate FABs • Performance regulation focus FABs • Interaction FABs and Network Management • SSC as a the strategic body to clear obstacles

  27. SES: Second Legislative Package

  28. SES: Second Legislative Package • NETWORK MANAGEMENT FUNCTION • Improve the European route network design • Deliver continuous improvement of environmental performance and flight efficiency • Empower flow management • Better implementation of flow management measures • Link ATM and airport operations to increase overall efficiency • Management of scarce resources • Transponder code allocation and co-ordination • Frequencies allocation and co-ordination • Materialize value added of SESAR • Synchronise deployment of SESAR and new network tasks

  29. SES: Second Legislative Package • TECHNOLOGY • SESAR the technological component of the SES • SESAR program in 3 phases • 1. Definition phase (2004 – 2008) • 2. Development phase (2008 -2013) • 3. Deployment phase (2013 -2020)

  30. SES: • SAFETY • Extension of EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) competence to airports, air navigation services and air traffic management • Implementation of a Total System Approach

  31. SES: • CAPACITY • To integrate capacity management in the air and on the ground • Action Plan for airport capacity, efficiency and safety in Europe • Establishment of an Observatory to exchange and monitor data/information on capacity requirements in support of the Network Management Function • Increase predictability: Planning and management in function of required time of arrival
