Network Operations Report - July 2026

This edition of our monthly publication by the EUROCONTROL Network Manager gives an overview of the performance of the European ATM network. Here's a quick look at how the network performed in July 2026.

The EUROCONTROL Network Manager (NM) continued monitoring the operational situation, coordinated lifting of restrictions and held weekly ad-hoc coordination meetings to share network status. In addition, NM led the preparation of the Network Rolling Seasonal Plan that plays a major role in helping European aviation to recover by providing aviation's key actors with the global view they need to plan effectively.

The six summer priorities – Delivering agreed capacities, capacity and weather-based operations, realistic schedules, prioritising first rotation, disciplined flight plan execution and P-DPI, technological modernisation – guided operational actions in July. Despite ongoing weather disruption and capacity constraints, strengthened stakeholder coordination helped maintain network performance during sustained summer peak traffic.
