Debate on regions - “What will be the role of Central & Eastern Europe in the future ATM Network?”

13:15 - 14:15 -

The airspace between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea is one of the most important gateways of the European continent.


The airspace between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea is one of the most important gateways of the European continent. This region handles air traffic in the North – South, East – West directions.

The European Union border countries link the EU with the continent of Asia and the region of the Middle East. They handle out-of-area traffic, military traffic from non-EU/NATO countries, including those over Baltic High Seas; they also deal with the high traffic volatility due to greater vulnerability to the external political conflicts.

EUROCONTROL forecasts show that traffic in Central and Eastern part of Europe will grow significantly faster than in other parts of the region. At the same time, high traffic density, distinctive for today’s “core area”, may be spreading in all directions, including the EU bordering countries.

Therefore, the aim of the debate is to focus on the increasing role of the Central and Eastern European countries in the future ATM developments and to discuss how they can contribute to the European network efficiency.
