What is SESAR

SESAR: Why a new Programme ?

In the past, many initiatives aiming at improving the ATM system were undertaken. However, for most of them, full benefits were not achieved mainly due to lack of commitment from a part of the Stakeholders or from deciders.

SESAR (the Single European Sky ATM Research Programme) is the answer to this issue. For the first time in European ATM history, an ATM improvement programme is involving the Aviation Players (civil and military, legislators, industry, operators, users, ground and airborne) for defining, committing to and implementing a pan-European programme, and to support the Single European Sky legislation.

SESAR Objectives

The objectives of SESAR are to eliminate the fragmented approach to ATM, transform the European ATM system, synchronise the plans and actions of the different partners and federate resources.

SESAR will be run in three major phases:

  Development Phase (2008-2013)
  Deployment Phase (2014-2020)
