Air transport safety, efficiency and growth driven by market demand Joint cooperation and action "With effective plans and concepts in hand, we shall work together to ensure that the skies of the future are safe and remain unencumbered for a long time to come." Philippe Rochat, Executive Director, ATAG With ICAO’s ATM Operational Concept, Global Air Navigation Plan, and IATA’s ATM Implementation Roadmap in-place, we now have the potential to implement a truly global airspace environment to achieve the industry’s vision of One Sky… global ATM. This is a unique global challenge, as it calls on governments and industry to work together as partners. It means thinking in international rather than in local or indeed regional terms. And it also means addressing the issue of State sovereignty over airspace in a collaborative way, and putting in place a series of measures that will effectively remove existing "borders" in the sky. This transition is necessary worldwide, but it should take advantage of the full potential of existing ATM capacity improvement methods, such as RVSM, RNP and RNAV and the capability of sophisticated, modern aircraft. The successful experiences in Asia, Europe and South America should encourage other regions to follow as soon as possible. ICAO provisions and global best practices must be followed. 12 Industry and government efforts and commitments The implementation of ATM_cns requires governments to: reconsider the organisation of their respective airspace, to improve the collaboration between civil and military users and to accept the creation of functional blocks of airspace beyond national borders; recognise the need for air navigation service providers’ autonomy and supranational partnerships, while supervising their monopolistic activities; recognise safety, efficiency and capacity as the drivers for change and support ICAO’s ATM Operational Concept and Global Air Navigation Plan; and ensure that globally-harmonised, interoperable, compatible and cost-beneficial solutions are implemented in a timely manner, sheltered from purely political considerations. This implementation requires the air transport industry to: work together and with governments to ensure that solutions are driven by airspace user requirements; agree on a business-driven relationship between ANS providers and users, based on commercial arrangements and global industry best practices for the provision of safe and high quality services; ensure that aircraft are appropriately equipped to take full advantage of ANS providers’ services; and support ICAO’s work while insisting on the timely implementation of global and cost-effective solutions irrespective of national or regional considerations. To achieve this, air transport industry stakeholders and governments must work together. States must take the right implementation decisions that will influence and drive civil aviation’s safety, efficiency and capacity – thereby enabling air transport’s sustainable growth and improved services in the future.
