The iNM programme is progressively transforming the Network Manager environment through successive waves of change, ensuring operational continuity, resilience and stakeholder and user confidence throughout the transition.
By introducing changes incrementally and collaboratively, each wave allows new capabilities to be tested, refined and integrated safely into live operations.
This phased approach is gradually creating a connected operational ecosystem where information flows seamlessly across systems, functions and stakeholders.
Following wave 2.3 in April 2026, which introduced new NMUI products for Flow and Tower users, wave 2.4 shifts the focus on what sits beneath those operational tools: data quality, system performance, reliability, and interoperability.
This marks an important phase in the iNM programme. By strengthening these foundations, wave 2.4 ensure that recent improvements are stable and resilient before scaling further. It supports the continued digital transformation of the Network Manager's tools and services into a connected operational ecosystem were information flows faster, more reliably and with greater operational value.
At its core, iNM is built around an ambitious principle: that information should move seamlessly across systems, operational functions and stakeholders. This means that operational data should not be "trapped" within individual applications or organisational boundaries but remains accessible and synchronised through the entire ecosystem.
In practice, wave 2.4 is an eEAD B2C delivery to:
- strengthen synchronisation between systems such as CNOTAM (Conventional NOTAM) and INO (International NOTAM Operations), improving data consistency, integrity and completeness. This will allow the same operational information is aligned across systems, users can trust that what they see is consistent and up to date, the whole network works with a shared, reliable picture of the network's reality,
- enable bi-directional synchronisation between eEAD and the legacy EAD, ensuring that aeronautical data remains continuously aligned across systems. EAD (European AIS Database) is the central, shared repository for aeronautical information used across Europe and beyond. By introducing eEAD as a data provider, this evolution modernises how data is managed, shared and used — moving from static, system-specific information towards a more connected, consistent and real-time data environment across the network,
- prepare iNM to act as a future data provider, positioning it at the centre of the European aviation data ecosystem.
As part of this journey, the iNM Wave 2.4 Release primarily delivers stable eEAD B2C delivery to support CP1 Regulation compliance by:
- further enabling stable eEAD–EAD data synchronisation;
- addressing the stability, reliability, and performance of eEAD for B2C functions and data synchronisation.
Key updates:
- Wave2.4 eEAD OPS deployment and activation of data synchronisation will take place on 26 May
- Wave2.4 Ph2 client transition OPT test system is already available.
