Air Traffic Management and the Green Deal

Innovation takes flight

Innovation Takes flight. Over 10 million flights were made in Europe last year, a figure predicted to grow. This presents a challenge to meeting Europe’s environmental ambitions, including the transition to carbon neutrality by 2050, as set out in the European Green Deal. The Single European Sky ATM Research Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU) aims to enhance the sustainability of air traffic by reducing carbon and non-carbon emissions, as well as other environmental impacts such as noise. Through a range of innovative technologies, operational concepts, and procedures, the SESAR JU is helping to make Europe the most efficient and environmentally friendly sky to fly in the world. This illustrated graphic shows six types of innovation supported by SESAR funding.
