Air transport industry position
To complement ICAO’s work, IATA has
developed a comprehensive global ATM
Implementation Roadmap that aims to
provide a clear industry vision of the future
ATM concept. The air transport industry
urges ICAO to adopt a similar planning
process in order to assist the industry
as a whole in planning future procurement
requirements.
IATA Global Implementation Roadmap
Air transport safety, efficiency and growth driven by market demand
"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." Bernie Smith, CEO, Airservices Australia and Deputy Chairman,
Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO)
The roadmap is a key part of IATA’s
ATM_cns strategy and vision for One
Sky…global ATM. It fully supports the ICAO
ATM Operational Concept – addressing
the need for collaborative decision-making,
dynamic airspace management, strategic
conflict management, flexible use of
airspace and all weather performance.
The roadmap focuses on ATM solutions rather than "cns" supporting technologies, and
is driven by the need to improve ATM safety, capacity and efficiency. Time-scales are
intentionally approximate, because the roadmap describes an implementation sequence
and not absolute events in time.

The transition towards One Sky…global
ATM in accordance with the roadmap is
necessary in all regions of the world.
Many aircraft are already capable of GNSS
navigation, and States should allow their
airline operators to take full advantage of
the new technology. ANS providers should
ensure, as a priority, that benefits are
provided to airlines that are appropriately
equipped and certified. Airline operators
that are not appropriately equipped should
be provided with a clear transition path to
the future, and a safer and more efficient
concept of operation.
