In partnership with
The European Commission, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), EUROCONTROL, SESAR Deployment Manager and SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking are jointly organising the first Global Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO) Symposium on 4-6 June 2024, at EUROCONTROL’s Brussels Headquarters.
The aim of the event is to showcase TBO’s benefits and the progress being made in the realisation of the global TBO concept. The event will provide a forum for discussion and exchange on all aspects of TBO, including the operational benefits, concept, enablers, and the regulatory and standardisation aspects.
Why should you attend this event?
- To hear from stakeholders who are already moving to implement TBO. Learn about their operational experiences and the benefits it is delivering for their day-to-day operations.
- To understand the key enablers that can support TBO, the necessary roadmap including regulatory and standardisation steps towards the future TBO operations.
- To discover the next steps and future technologies required for full TBO implementation on a global scale.
How to attend
The event will be onsite, with livestream also provided for those who are unable to attend in person.
Please note that the venue has reached capacity and we are no longer accepting registrations for physical attendance. If you would like to join us live on the day, you can still register for online-only participation.

Session 1 – Why TBO? What are the operational benefits?
TBO is the cornerstone of the ICAO vision to enable greener and more predictable air travel while optimising the capacity of our skies in a safe manner. This introductory session will showcase the expected operational benefits of TBO and highlight the opportunities that TBO will offer for operations in the future. We will hear about various approaches from different regions and stakeholders across the globe.

Session 4 – TBO building blocks: Enabling technologies and trajectory sharing
The realisation of TBO will rely on a number of key building blocks to allow trajectory information to be shared effectively with all stakeholders and used on the ground and in the air. This session will explore the building blocks needed to implement the global TBO concept.
Presentations by:
- Véronique Travers Sutter, Head of the iCNS Unit, EUROCONTROL

Session 6 – Progress on TBO implementation to date
Progress is being made by States and stakeholders. Some key capabilities and solutions have already been delivered to make initial TBO possible, such as the downlinking of aircraft trajectories into ground systems. During this session, we will hear more about these implementations, as well as understand regulatory enablers, the operational benefits on service provision, network performance, sustainability, and the human dimension.
