The leaders of Europe\u2019s leading Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) have renewed their commitment to work together to help modernise Europe\u2019s air traffic management system \u2013 and expanded their agreement to draw in other European ANSP groupings.
\n
\nThe Memorandum of Cooperation signed in 2011 by members of the original A6 Alliance \u2013 which united the ANSPs of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and the Noracon consortium (Austria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Norway and Sweden) \u2013 has been revised to enable even greater cooperation to help deliver the Single European Sky ATM Research programme (SESAR).
\n
\nThe MoC now also includes as members the COOPANS Alliance (Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden) and the B4 consortium (Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia). PANSA, of Poland, has in the meantime also become a full member of the A6 Alliance.
\n
\nSESAR is the technology strand of the European Commission\u2019s Single European Sky programme and is coordinating the development and deployment of new tools and concepts that will help improve the way Europe\u2019s airspace is managed, making it safer, cheaper and more environmentally friendly. It will also help to increase capacity, paving the way for forecast traffic growth.
\n
\nThe revised agreement reflects changes to the external environment, as SESAR Phase 1 nears its conclusion, SESAR 2020 launches and shifts focus towards the operational deployment of technologies. Different groupings will participate in the A6 Alliance for different elements of the SESAR programme and the A6 Alliance is part of the Supervisory Board for the SESAR Deployment Manager.
\n
\nIgnacio Gonz\u00e1lez, Air Navigation Director of ENAIRE and Chair of the A6 Alliance Steering Board, said: \u201cSESAR is a crucial programme that will significantly improve the way we manage Europe\u2019s airspace, making it better for passengers and citizens and modernising our ATM system to underpin the requirements of the European economy.
\n
\n\u201cThe A6 Alliance is uniquely placed to help make sure this happens in the most effective way and I am delighted that more ANSPs are joining this cooperation. This revised agreement demonstrates the commitment of a strong coalition of Europe\u2019s ANSPs to work together to ensure SESAR deliver real benefits to our customers and their passengers.\u201d
\n
\nThe MoC sets out the arrangements under which Members will cooperate in areas such as identifying and adopting best practice across Members, agreeing common methods of operation, benchmarking performance and optimising resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
