Aviation industry renews commitment to modernise ATM
At the SESAR Deployment and Infrastructure (SDIP) Consortium meeting this month, the aviation industry came together to renew its commitment to modernise Air Traffic Management (ATM) beyond 2027.
Through the establishment of the SESAR Deployment and Infrastructure (SDIP) Consortium, ACI EUROPE, airports, airlines, ANSPs, and EUROCONTROL have collectively come together and joined forces towards the goal of modernising and digitalising the European ATM. Five years on from its creation, the SDIP Consortium aims to assume, keep, and maintain a leading and decisive role in addressing the short-and-long term technological challenges our industry is facing.
The SDIP Consortium continues to:
- establish an unparalleled centre of expertise for the ATM industry
- jointly build a modus operandi rooted in co-creation
- establish a consultation mechanism that fosters transparency, collaboration and dialogue
- assist stakeholders in their efforts to deploy and put into operation highly needed technologies and systems
- support the operational use of these technologies
- directly support the mobilisation of around €3 billion of investment into ATM modernisation through a set of over 350 projects
