Europe’s airport trade association is reacting to the report delivered yesterday to the European Commission by the ‘Wise Persons Group’, which sets out recommendations on the future of air traffic management (ATM) in Europe*.
The report takes stock of the failures of the Single European Sky and of the need for reform, due to the impact of current ATM inefficiencies on the travelling public and airspace users. While ATM inefficiencies also impact airports at various levels, ACI EUROPE is especially concerned with their impact on the environment - and in particular climate change. Last year, these inefficiencies led to an additional +5.2% of CO2 emitted by aircraft in Europe.
