SESAR Deployment Manager reducing European air transport delays

SESAR Deployment Manager sees the 100 projects it had already completed by Feb 2019 as instrumental in reducing European air transport delays by 6.2m min. by 2030. The projects produced an estimated reduction in delays of 363,000 min. in 2019, GM Nicolas Warinsko said. SDM oversees the synchronisation and coordination of the deployment of the key Common Projects of the Europe-wide SESAR program launched in 2005 to harmonise and modernise air traffic management systems and procedures across Europe. The estimate includes Flexible Airspace Management/Free Route, one of 6 areas making up the Pilot Common Project, which is designed to boost flight efficiency through a more efficient use of airspace, providing significant benefits linked to fuel consumption and delay reduction. <br/>
