About SESAR
The SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) programme is building the future European air traffic management system.
It is the technological and operational dimension of the Single European Sky (SES) initiative to meet future airspace capacity and safety needs.
As a co-founding member of the SESAR Joint Undertaking together with the European Commission, EUROCONTROL plays a key role in all SESAR work packages.
