European experts suggest measures to ease ATC crisis

A panel of experts has proposed a set of measures it believes would help improve the efficiency of Europe’s air traffic control system. Europe has been trying to move away from ATC boundaries based on those of individual states and towards a smaller number of larger functional airspace blocks as part of the Single European Sky project. But progress has been slow. The panel of experts, formally known as the European Commission Wise Persons Group on European Air Traffic Control reform, published a series of recommendations April15, split into short- and long-term measures. One of the first airlines to respond to the panel’s report was Ryanair, which has been a long-time critic of Europe’s ATC performance. The carrier called on European govts and the EC to implement the panel’s recommendations swiftly. <br/>
