Description

The single European sky initiative promotes harmonisation of air traffic control procedures and operations throughout the airspace of the European Union Member States and their close neighbours. Removing the barriers which have historically fragmented European airspace will make air transport throughout Europe more efficient. The single sky puts in place a system with sufficient capacity and flexibility for the excepted increases in traffic over the coming decades, while at the same time ensuring the highest possible safety standards throughout European skies. ln early 2004, the European Union adopted a package of legislation setting out the route to achieving the single sky. The focus now moves to putting that into effect through detailed implementing rules. This brochure outlines the areas in which these rules are now being developed.
