Edition 3 of the Airspace Management (ASM) Handbook published
The ASM Handbook should be regarded as a set of actions intended as guidelines and best practices providing additional description of the ATM (ASM/ATFCM/ATC) related processes and procedures, complementary to the provision of EUROCONTROL Specification for the application of the Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) that has been adopted by the European Commission as the means of compliance to the Interoperability Regulation (EC) No 552/2004 and the FUA Regulation (EC) No 2150/2005.

Our mission and vision are:

to proactively participate, along with other units and stakeholders in a network approach to ATM development;
to actualize operational improvements within the European airspace network through a rolling airspace and navigation work plan; and
our vision is to be the driver and main implementer of airspace network and navigational operational changes within the short-term (as key DMEAN contributor) and to provide airspace and navigation enablers both for SESAR and to the transition steps to SESAR.
These webpages will lead you through a comprehensive presentation of the activities under the leadership of the APN Unit. Enjoy your visit.

  Flight Efficiency Plan
  The implementation of the improvements foreseen in the Flight Efficiency Plan is expected to bring benefits evaluated at 470.000 tons of fuel/year, 1.555.000 tons of CO2/year, corresponding to almost 390 million Euro/year.

  ATS Route Network Version 6
  The ATS Route Network (ARN) Version 6 includes more than 400 Airspace Projects deployed over the period 2008-2010. They include more than 1600 route changes and more than 60 re-sectorisation projects. On a yearly basis and as from the full implementation of ARN V6, flying distances would be reduced by approximately 12 million NMs, i.e. saving the equivalent of 72000 tons of fuel, or 240000 tons of CO2 or 60 million Euros.
