SINGLE EUROPEAN SKY TO NEXTGEN: A HARMONIZED APPROACH TO THE FUTURE GLOBAL AIRSPACE

摘要

The Single European Sky (SES) initiative and NextGen are two of the most transformative Air Traffic Management (ATM) technology modernization projects in the history of the global aviation industry. New technology currently being deployed throughout the United States' National Airspace System (NAS) and the Eurozone will allow Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) to exchange data communications with Flight Management Systems (FMS) and pilots to fly more optimal, fuel-efficient flight paths. The great news for avionics manufacturers, airlines, business aviation and all other elements of the global aviation industry is that the decision-makers implementing these two projects are building the projects in a collaborative way, ensuring that these two regions carrying the lion's share of the world's air traffic can accommodate for future projected increases in air traffic.
