Air transport safety, efficiency and growth driven by market demand
Transition
ATM efficiency and effectiveness must be optimised through the development
of a proper transition plan and a long-term strategy aimed at rationalising
the infrastructure and service delivery. This strategy should be based on global
operational requirements supported by market forecasts and not on purely
national or regional interests.
ICAO to take the lead
ICAO must orchestrate implementation
efforts at a worldwide level, especially
when considering the need to develop
supporting technologies that are globally
harmonised, compatible and interoperable.
Proper international standards, procedures
and guidance are required to prevent the
emergence of diverging national or regional
solutions that could impose additional
burdens service providers and, in turn,
on airlines.
ICAO’s Global Air Navigation Plan for
CNS/ATM Systems and ATM Operational
Concept provide a sound basis with
which to develop a global and seamless
ATM system that effectively addresses
airspace users’ expectations. It is essential,
therefore, to ensure that the ICAO concept
becomes the foundation for global and
regional air navigational planning.

ICAO’s ATM Operational Concept
The global ATM Operational Concept
presents ICAO’s vision for an
integrated, harmonised and globally
interoperable ATM system of the
future. It addresses what is needed
to increase user flexibility and
maximise operating efficiencies in
order to increase system capacity
and improve safety levels.
