Network Manager user forum 2019

EUROCONTROL’s NM User Forum is the yearly major Air Traffic Management (ATM) event for aviation's operational community.

"Your Annual European Network Operations Event" addressed key topics of the European ATM network and brought the operational players together to discuss the anticipated challenges for the upcoming year.

Our experts from ATM, airlines and airports shared their views and brought to light some of the difficulties faced throughout the 2018 summer period. Experts and attendees discussed potential solutions to improve network capacity and how to best tackle weather challenges operationally. Participants benefited from presentations on understanding network complexity and stability and got a sneak peek at the latest short-term technical evolution.

Participating operational users also:

learned from the 2018 operations and from the experience of our peers,
openly tackled operational issues and identified realistic actions for improvement,
focused on concrete initiatives that can make a real difference in 2019 and
ensured that the real priorities of Airspace Users are fully taken into account in proposed system and procedures upgrades.
