Air traffic management and the Green Deal : a projects info pack by CORDIS

Air traffic management (ATM) has an important contribution to make towards the overall effort supporting climate-neutral aviation. In the SESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU), we have united the entire ATM community - airports, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, industry, professional staff organisations and academia - to ensure a comprehensive response. Together, we have set ourselves the ambition of making Europe the most efficient and environmentally-friendly sky to fly in the world. This brochure provides insights into our work in this area with a collection of 10 projects from our Digital European Sky research and innovation programme. Grouped under our programme flagship 'Aviation Green Deal', these projects are harnessing the latest digital technologies to address both the CO2 and non-CO2 impacts of aviation - a critical dual priority for a sustainable tomorrow. The projects take a holistic look at ATM, addressing operations across all phases of flight - from taxiing and take-off to cruising and preparing to land - targeting environmental inefficiencies throughout.
