A4E calls for action on European ATM bottlenecks
The latest in a long series of calls for improved air traffic management in Europe has come from A4E, whose 15 members account for 70% of the continent’s air travel. The CEs of A4E’s members met in Brussels Tuesday and expressed exasperation. After a summer marked by “unacceptable delays,” they are urging the EU to “take immediate action to remove European airspace inefficiencies.” En route delays, measured by Eurocontrol at 9.32m minutes last year, are set to increase by 50% in 2018, A4E said. “The reputation of Europe is at stake. Reform of EU airspace must be a top priority for the next EC and all involved national bodies,” A4E MD Thomas Reynaert said. The EC’s current term ends Oct 31, 2019. <br/>
