EUROCONTROL launches All Together Now 2024 campaign preparing for busy Summer season
Ahead of what is expected to be a bumper summer season, EUROCONTROL has released the 2024 edition of its hands-on guide for flight dispatchers, pilots, air traffic controllers, flow management positions and airports to best prepare for increased air traffic levels in summer 2024 and take a network view.
Air traffic in Europe this summer is expected to be up to 5-7% above the traffic levels of 2023 – bringing daily traffic peaks in 2024 to over 36,500 flights! Several parts of the Network are expected to be even busier than 2019. EUROCONTROL’s All Together Now guide 2024 provides a clear set of hints and tips grouped by operational stakeholder category on the best practices that operational staff should follow – thereby “Thinking Network” in cooperation with the EUROCONTROL Network Manager Operations Centre to ensure efficient, optimal operations.
The key asks of airports include:
- A-CDM airports: Operate within agreed data updates and procedures and keep the A-CDM tool up to date at all times.
- Keep your plans updated in Airport Corner ref changes to planned/unplanned events at D-1 and day of operations. The Airport Corner proves that it is useful to have the info from airports especially when capacity is impacted.
- Ensure estimated off-block times (EOBTs) are up to date and challenge when they are unachievable.
Take a look at the All Together Now 2024 guide developed by EUROCONTROL, share it with colleagues who may be able to profit from the information.
