Single European Sky: for a more sustainable and resilient air traffic management

The European Commission yesterday proposed an upgrade to the Single European Sky regulatory framework, which comes on the heels of the European Green Deal. The objective is to modernise the management of European airspace and to establish more sustainable and efficient flightpaths. This can reduce air transport emissions by up to 10%. The proposal comes as the sharp drop in air traffic caused by the coronavirus pandemic calls for greater resilience of our air traffic management, by making it easier to adapt traffic capacities to demand.
