A NEW ORGANISATION STRUCTURE to better serve the European aviation community
The European ATM environment is undergoing significant changes. In order to improve the way it meets the needs of all its 39 Member States and to contribute more actively to the successful delivery of the Single European Sky, EUROCONTROL has reorganised its activities around five main functions:
Directorate Single Sky:
delivers the Agencys contribution to the implementation of the Single European Sky, supporting all EUROCONTROL Member States, the European Commission (EC) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Directorate deals with support to network oversight, regulatory support, performance review, environmental support as well as civil-military coordination.
Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC):
provides air traffic services to defined standards of safety and performance levels in the upper airspace of Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the north west of Germany. MUAC provides also its operational and technical know-how to other parts of the Agency for the development and deployment of SESAR. MUAC supports the participating States in establishing the Functional Airspace Block Europe Central (FABEC).
Directorate Network Management:
coordinates network management functions relating both to network planning (airspace design) and operations (ATFCM, AIM) and also to the coordinated pan-European deployment of operational and technical improvements, including those related to SESAR. It provides support to airport activities, it coordinates safety actions and the management of frequencies and scare resources. It also delivers support services to air navigation service providers and FABs (when required) as well as ATM training; finally it monitors the network management contribution to the performance targets of the SES.
Directorate SESAR and Research:
encompasses all the activities delivering EUROCONTROLs agreed contribution to the SESAR Joint Undertaking. It ensures that the Agency ATM research effort is aligned to the SESAR initiatives in accordance with the ATM Master Plan and that the Agency contribution to the SESAR Joint Undertaking Work programme is delivered in a timely, efficient and effective manner.
Directorate Central Route Charges Office:
operates, maintains and develops the Multilateral Route Charges System on behalf of the Member States. In addition, the CRCO operates 18 bilateral agreements for the collection of terminal/communication charges or air navigation charges (of which 4 agreements with non-Member States). In all, the CRCO collects charges on behalf of 43 States.
EUROPEAN FAST FACTS 2010
Total number of flights in Europe: Number of air traffic control centres: Average delay per flight: Air navigation charges billed: 9.49 million flights 68 2.27 minutes 7.4 billion
The activities of these five entities are coordinated by the Principal Director ATM, Bo Redeborn. The corporate processes that support the new organisational structure are managed by the Directorate of Resources headed by the Principal Director Resources, Alberto Varano. The next step in this process of reform will be to work with all its members to ensure that the institutional framework of EUROCONTROL is fit for purpose in view of the changing ATM environment in Europe and its new and potential future roles. To this end, the Provisional Council, with the guidance of the Provisional Council Coordinating Committee, is now embarking on a review of the Organisations institutional and legal framework
