Programmes and projects
EUROCONTROL deploys European-wide air traffic management (ATM) programmes and projects, involving a range of ATM players.
All our programmes and projects aim to build a single European sky that will deliver the ATM performance required for the twenty-first century and beyond.
This page lists our programmes and projects in alphabetical order. For specific information about our activities in European air traffic management (including air traffic control and air traffic flow management), refer to our Activities page.
