SESAR: Future-proofing Europe's Airports

A well-functioning and efficient Air Traffic Management (ATM) system is a vital element for the sustainability of global aviation, That is why SESAR (Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research) was founded in 2007 in order to modernise and harmonise ATM systems through the definition, development and deployment of innovative technological and operational solutions. Today, SESAR consists of two pillars: The SESAR joint Undertaking (SJU), a public-private partnership, which pools together the knowledge and resources of the entire ATM community in order to research and validate new technological solutions. These solutions are then handed over to the SESAR Deployment Manager, comprised of a group of air navigation service providers, airports and airlines, whose role is to deliver them into everyday operations across Europe.
