Foreword from Chairman Ashley Smout The importance of transformation If the financial forecasts for 2010 are accurate, the airline industry has just experienced a $25bn turnaround, with losses of $10bn in 2009 becoming $15bn profit in 2010. At first glance, this looks like an encouraging recovery from the worst economic downturn in recent memory; but the turnaround was partially driven by better aircraft utilisation, rather than a proportionate increase in movements. Compared to 2009, air traffic did pick up, but only slowly - CANSO members recorded 2.5% growth over last year (see pages 38-39). This continued to put pressure on our members’ finances, and while the industry did everything possible to maintain prices to support our airline customers, the cost recovery model was working against us. 2010 also presented a number of other challenges, with natural disasters, extreme weather conditions and industrial action putting additional strain on the finances of our members. As an industry, Air Traffic Management must continuously transform itself to address the challenges it faces and meet the high expectations of industry stakeholders. The same maxim holds true for CANSO as well. In June this year we will celebrate CANSO’s 15th year of operations, in the wonderful city of Bangkok. As I look back at CANSO’s short history, I am struck by its tremendous progress and countless achievements. The development of the industry’s ‘Global Vision for Seamless ANS’ in 2007, for example, gave the Association’s work greater purpose and direction. This was further enhanced by Imagine 2010, which created lead programmes in Safety, Environment, Business Transformation and Operations, and established CANSO as the global, consolidated voice of ATM. However, if recent events have taught us anything, it is that more needs
to be done to implement a robust and flexible system, in-line with the industry’s Global Vision. Instead of just talking about change, we must work together to make it happen, both on a global and a regional level. I believe that CANSO has a key role to play in this. With the conclusion of our Imagine 2010 Strategy last year, we seized the opportunity to ask what our members really need - and want - from their Association over the next three years and beyond. Through 2010 we worked to develop and implement the new Waypoint strategy; shaping CANSO’s role, and setting short and long term priorities. This was no easy task: as an Association we must balance the diverse needs of all our members and deliver tangible benefits to all. We must ensure that our organisation is fit to meet the needs of the future while at the same time continuing with our day-to-day work. Thanks to honest and constructive feedback from our members, and the hard work of the Secretariat and ExCom, we are now ready to put our plans into action and to get to work in transforming global ATM performance. This is my last contribution to a CANSO publication as my time as Chairman of the Executive Committee comes to an end. These past six years have been among the most stimulating and rewarding of my career, as we have built the CANSO brand. It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to serve you and I wish all our members, and my successor, the very best for the future.

Introduction from Director General Graham Lake 2011: a year of delivery Welcome to the CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011. In addition to the usual member profiles and global air navigation services performance data, this year’s edition features a closer look at the industry’s current priorities in safety, operations, environment, and performance, as well as a description of our 2010-2011 activities in these areas. I hope you find this a useful and interesting overview. For CANSO, 2010 was a year of transition and growth. With the conclusion of the highly successful Imagine 2010 programme, we set about identifying our members’ priorities for improvement, and developing a strategy to deliver ‘quick wins’ and progress longterm goals in these areas. The result was the Waypoint 2013 Strategy, the principles of which were approved at the AGM in Oslo along with our new Mission to Transform Global ATM Performance. Our members will continue to set the agenda for change by taking part in CANSO’s democratic decision-making processes, and by providing their unique insight and guidance through data collection tools like the ‘Fitness Check for ANSPs’. At the same time, CANSO will take an increasingly active role in coordinating the delivery of products and deliverables that will benefit the entire system. Looking back, 2010 was a highly successful year for CANSO in a number areas. Most notably, we attracted a record number of new members, including CARC Jordan and DECEA Brazil, as well as 12 new Associates. We joined forces with our industry partners – ACI EUROPE and ACI World, EUROCONTROL, IATA, ICAO and IFATCA – to increase efficiency at European airports, push forward with A-CDM and PBN, and think about the role of the next generation aviation
professional. We also established a presence in Latin America and the Caribbean, and strengthened our activities in the Middle East with a regional vision, strategy and new Workgroups. As a lean organisation, CANSO must perform at peak efficiency to ensure continued expansion. Through 2010 we undertook a significant change management programme to increase coordination between our global, regional and workgroup activities. We recruited new staff, set aside resources for training, and established the ‘CANSO Captains’ Initiative to recruit aviation leaders of the future to run projects on our behalf. For the first time, CANSO now has dedicated Finance and Human Resources departments, and work has begun to develop a quality management plan for streamlining our processes. As a result, CANSO began 2011 as a healthy organisation well on the path to maturity. These organisational improvements were both necessary and timely. Over the next three years we aim to deliver more guidance material and tools for our members, increase our regional presence and effectiveness, and encourage the exchange of new ideas and best practice through our events and Workgroups. We will also continue to be an effective voice for our members and the broader air transport industry. This is an exciting time for CANSO, and I hope you will agree with me that there has never been a better time to get involved with what we’re doing, and to take part in the transformation of global ATM performance.

AMERICAS
Breaking new ground in the Americas ATM faces a diverse range of challenges in the Americas. In the US, the FAA continues pushing forward with its package of technological and operational enhancements as part of NextGen, while in Latin America and the Caribbean — one of the fastestgrowing air traffic regions — CANSO members are focusing on stepping up collaboration, sharing best practice and improving safety.
Progress with NextGen The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) air navigation services provider, the Air Traffic Organization (ATO) has been involved with CANSO since 2000, and is an active supporter and participant in the organisation’s Safety Standing
Committee, Operations Standing Committee and various workgroups. Over the past year, the FAA has continued its work on the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), which includes collaboration with domestic and international aviation community partners towards a safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly airspace system. NextGen is already providing benefits such as airfield and surface improvements, PBN, and the initial operating capability of ADS-B. In September 2010, the FAA authorised controllers to use ADS-B – a foundational NextGen technology – for separation of suitably equipped
aircraft in some areas. Nationwide deployment of ADS-B in US airspace is expected to be completed in 2013. A final rule published in May mandates that aircraft operating in most controlled airspace must be equipped with compliant ADS-B Out avionics by 2020. 2010 also saw progress in such areas as safety management, airport development, environmental management, rule and policy making, workforce engagement, and training. The Aviation Rulemaking Committee established last year by the FAA is expected to make recommendations to FAA leadership later this year that will provide clear guidance on how the aviation community should proceed with ADS-B.

New CANSO Office for Latin America & the Caribbean 2010 was a milestone year for CANSO in Latin America, when five of its full members - Aena, FAA , NAATC, NAV Portugal and SENEAM – signed a Letter of Agreement establishing a CEO Committee to govern CANSO activities in the Latin America and Caribbean Regions, and setting up a CANSO Office for the region. The five ANSPs agreed that a new office could improve: • support to the continuous and coordinated presence of international organisations in the region (e.g. ICAO, ALTA, IATA, ACI, etc.), as well as defending the interests of the ANSPs within their different initiatives; • the development of programmes and plans of cooperation for regional development in the aviation sector; • collaboration between ANSPs, ICAO and other stakeholders for the benefit of the region; • relationships with users; and • the recruitment of new members in the region. With the new office in place, CANSO made its augural appearance at the LACAC assembly, where Javier
Vanegas, Liaison Officer for the newly formed Latin America and Caribbean Project Group (LACPG) presented the CANSO work plan in support of regional collaboration and a closer relationship between LACAC and CANSO. In addition, CANSO hosted its second Caribbean & Latin America Conference, which concluded with widespread agreement on the priorities for transforming ATM performance in the region. More than 130 aviation leaders took part in the various discussions and workshops, and CANSO now has a clear set of priorities for transforming ATM performance in the region. At the conference, the LACPG developed an activity plan that will focus on harmonising procedures, facilitating the exchange of best practice in the region and with the region’s European counterparts, and increasing collaboration between all stakeholders to improve safety. To support this, CANSO is arranging regional seminars covering Safety, Operations, Benchmarking and Business Transformation. The Conference followed the inaugural meeting of the LACPG and the election of Mrs Micilia Albertus-Verboom, Director General of NAATC, as Chair.
12 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
The activity plan developed by the LACPG CEO Committee specifically for 2011 includes seminars covering Safety, Benchmarking, and SMS Runway Safety/Incursion. A joint CANSO-ICAO PBN Summit is planned, while CANSO’s 3rd Latin America and Caribbean Conference will be held in Cancún, Mexico in November. In parallel with the activity plan, the LACPG CEO Committee will also focus on: • assisting in the harmonisation of procedures and routes in the Caribbean and South America regions; and • developing relationships with other states for the exchange of information to improve performance and safety of the regional ANS. Following CANSO’s 2nd Conference, the LACPG also plans to set up two workgroups, covering Safety and Operations, during 2011. Vanegas says: “During the first formative months for this new regional office, the most important milestone we have achieved is that we are setting a solid presence in the Latin America and Caribbean Regions. We have received positive feedback from several regional ANSPs and they recognise that CANSO is in the region to work together and collaborate towards a more safe and efficient ANS.” JAVIER VANEGAS Javier Vanegas is CANSO’s Latin America and Caribbean Project Liaison Officer. He is on secondment from Aena.
ASIA-PACIFIC
ADS-B high on the agenda for Asia-Pacific Boeing predicts that air traffic in the Asia-Pacific region will grow 6.8% a year over the next 20 years. This follows hard on the heels of IATA data showing that, in 2009, for the first time, the region overtook North America as the world’s largest aviation market, chalking up 647 million travellers to North America’s 638 million. IATA forecasts that, by 2013, an additional 217 million travellers are expected to take to the skies within the Asia-Pacific region. This level of growth will inevitably put enormous pressure on the region’s aviation infrastructure and CANSO’s Asia-Pacific regional office, opened in Singapore in 2008, is spearheading a number of initiatives to help the region’s ATM system accommodate that growth. They include a campaign to promote ADS-B implementation in the region. In 2009, CANSO completed a cost benefit study of ADS-B implementation over the South China Sea which showed significant economic, safety and environmental benefits. This study provided the foundation for an ADS-B project involving the ANSPs of Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam. Aimed at reducing aircraft separation on two trunk routes through the sharing of ADS-B data and VHF communications, it is expected to be fully operational by 2013/14, with initial ADS-B monitoring of aircraft on some airways expected this year. In August 2010, CANSO hosted its first ‘on-site’ ADS-B seminar in Manila to provide the CAA of the Philippines and

the Philippine airlines with information on the latest developments and updates on ADS-B implementation in the region, and to provide a forum for the CAAP to discuss its ADS-B implementation plans. This was the first time that CANSO had conducted such a seminar for a single State’s ANSP, regulator and airlines on their home ground. This ‘on-site’ approach enables CANSO to reach out to a large and diverse group of participants within a single state that travel costs would render prohibitive if a more generic event was hosted elsewhere in the region. This year, CANSO is hosting at least one and possibly two more on-site ADS-B seminars in the region to get more ANSPs on board. The first was scheduled for February in Yangon for DCA Myanmar. CANSO also organised two events in 2010 aimed at delivering industry best practices to the Asia-Pacific region. The first was an Asia-Pacific Safety Workshop hosted in conjunction with the CANSO Global Safety Conference in November, and the second was
a seminar/workshop focusing on CANSO’s Standard of Excellence for Safety Management System. This latter event was organised by CANSO for the region following the last AsiaPacific ANSP Conference in 2009 which identified Safety as a priority issue. CANSO also organised an ATM Operations Best Practices Seminar in Singapore, looking at best practices for enhancing operational performance across all phases of flight - a first for CANSO. Topics included PBN and CDO, Airport CDM and surface management, flexible routings, improved operational efficiency and services, en-route operational improvements and best practices. “The events were well attended,” says Hai Eng Chiang, CANSO Director Asia-Pacific Affairs. “As well as CANSO members, several non-members such as Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan and Papua New Guinea, industry suppliers, and speakers from international organisations like ICAO, IATA, IFATCA and the Flight Safety Foundation also took part.” Activities planned for 2011 include the Asia-Pacific ANSP conference to be held in Bangkok just prior to CANSO’s 15th AGM, and an ATM safety workshop also to be held in Bangkok as a follow up to the last workshop in Singapore. HAI ENG CHIANG Hai Eng Chiang is CANSO’s Director Asia-Pacific. He leads the Asia-Pacific Office on a part-time basis, on secondment from CAAS.

REPORTS FROM THE REGIONS
EUROPE
Ensuring strong ANSP representation in SES deliberations 2010 was an eventful year for European ATM. In April, the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano threw out an ash cloud that resulted in the closure of European airspace for six days. Like the other aviation sectors, ATM was drastically affected by the airspace closures. The ash cloud contributed to a 2.3% drop in global air traffic during April, and resulted in unexpected losses of up to 25 million Euros a day during the height of the crisis. CANSO’s European Office widely supported relevant actions, ensuring that its members were represented in efforts to resolve the crisis, and subsequently to discuss lessons, recommendations and future action. At a CANSO meeting of ATM experts in May, and then at CANSO’s AGM in June, members suggested a series of ideas to minimise the effects should a similar situation happen again, such as improved collaborative decision-making and contingency planning, more research on the effects of volcanic ash, better monitoring and risk assessment, and in the longer term, new regulatory provisions on operations certification and procedures for the closure of airspace, contingencies and re-routing. As an immediate response to the volcanic ash crisis, the European Commission established the European Crisis Coordination Cell, as per the decision of European Ministers of Transport. CANSO represents the European ANSPs in order to readily contribute to the development of solutions, should a critical
issue affect the European air transport network in the future. Meanwhile, ICAO established a European/NAT Volcanic Ash Task Force and a multidisciplinary International Volcanic Ash Task Force to develop improved European contingency measures, and to develop a global safety risk management framework to help determine safe levels of operation in airspace contaminated by volcanic ash. CANSO was actively involved in the work of both groups. The volcanic ash crisis served to refocus efforts on the creation of a safe and efficient European airspace, and CANSO welcomed the impetus it provided to improve European coordination and accelerate implementation of the Single European Sky (SES), provided this was undertaken in a well-defined and proportionate way. CANSO is a key contributor to the substantial and complex effort involved in transforming Europe’s fragmented airspace system to the SES, and this is a major area of activity for the European Regional Office. Its main focus in this respect is leading CANSO policy and lobbying input into the European Commission, and coordinating ANSP best practice in the region. The Office is directed by the Euro-pean CEO Committee (EC3) and governed within the framework of the organisation’s global policies and positions. EC3’s key objective is to focus CANSO’s influence in the development of the SES. It is supported by the Direc-
14 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
tor European Affairs, Director European Operations and a Manager Social & Regulatory Affairs. A number of groups also support CANSO’s European activities: the CANSO European Coordination Meeting (CECM), CANSO Social Dialogue Partnership (CSDP) and CANSO European Safety Group (CESAF). The CECM is involved in the development of policies and actions on questions of strategic interest to CANSO’s European members. It deals with issues involving EUROCONTROL, the SES, and discussions with the European branches of the other industry associations. The CSDP is working to ensure a consolidated input from the ANS sector employers regarding related social issues. The CESAF is in charge of providing all the necessary CANSO input on safety issues. A key ongoing effort of the European Regional Office is to reinforce CANSO’s influence on European institutional developments. A fourpronged approach includes: Firstly, the office elaborates the CANSO positions on the SESII implementation for: 1. The Performance Scheme Implementing Rule (IR) and PRB: Through 2010 CANSO provided comments on the various drafts of the IR, the majority of which were reflected in the final version. 2. The amendments to the Charging Regulation: CANSO provided substantial input, in particular on cost risk-sharing and the proposal to include a list of costs that are not under the control of ANSPs
and therefore should not be included as part of the ANSP cost base. 3. The Network Management Implementing Rule (NM IR): yet to be finalised, CANSO has made significant contributions and is following the developments. 4. The FAB Implementing Rule, Interoperability Implementing Rules and Community Specifications. Ongoing work relating to SES II implementation includes elaborating CANSO positions on: • ADQ IR (Aeronautical Data and Information Quality) including Community Specifications for Data Quality Requirements (DQR) and Data Assurance Levels (DAL); • Implementing Rule on SPI (Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Requirements); • Implementing Rule Amendment for Flight Message Transfer Protocol (FMTP IR); • Implementing Rule for PBN; • Enterprise Architecture including awareness campaign and a workshop; • SESAR Deployment and ATM Master Plan update. Secondly, the office facilitates the continued coordination of the Performance Scheme implementation. Thirdly, it coordinates input to EASA for extending the scope of its authority to include to ATM safety and aerodromes through relevant working groups, and within both the EAB and SSCC. And lastly, it initiates and coordinates lobbying activities for CANSO position dissemination. The CANSO European office also ensures ANSP influence in driving SESAR developments by facilitating coordination of IP1 implementation, contributing to ATM Master plan updates, and contributing to the development of suitable governance and funding/ financing arrangements for the SESAR deployment phase (post SJU). It also influences EUROCONTROL work by ensuring ANSP involvement, according to the Terms of Reference, with emphasis on the Agency’s business planning and budget; defining CANSO positions on the

Reform of EUROCONTROL in the SESII context, within and beyond the existing institutional framework of the EUROCONTROL convention; and ensuring CANSO coordinated input in the different layers and elements of the consultation arrangements (SCG, OCG, etc.). CANSO’s position on the EUROCONTROL institutional reform was welcomed by EUROCONTROL Member States. The European Office also promotes and utilises enhanced cooperation in the air transport sector through the coordination of positions of strategic common interest between ANSPs, airports, aircraft operators and professional staff representative bodies where appropriate. And by ensuring coordinated CANSO position input to the EU consultation bodies (ICB, Airport Capacity Observatory plus related sub groups, IP1 Steering Group). Towards the end of 2010, aviation in Europe took another hit when it was disrupted by adverse weather conditions and industrial action by controllers in Spain. CANSO condemned the illegal industrial action, arguing that the consequential closure of national airspace as a negotiating tool should not be permitted anywhere. It called on the European Union for regulatory measures to ensure
the continuity of air traffic services throughout Europe during industrial disputes, and warned that if the issue is not addressed, it could put at risk the entire Single European Sky initiative. Looking ahead, Guenter Martis, CANSO’s Director European Affairs, says: “2011 will be a year of growth. The EC3 has developed a set of new strategic objectives for the European region that reflect the imminent implementation of SES II in 2011 and 2012, and we have taken measures to ensure better horizontal coordination between the three core Workgroups of the European Region. Furthermore, our members have agreed to relocate the European Office to the centre of Brussels this year to facilitate better coordination among ANSPs and aviation partners, and better representation of the ANSP view within European institutions. “With the support and guidance of our members, we are confident we will continue to shape European ATM developments and achieve a competitive European ATM system.” GUENTER MARTIS Guenter Martis heads CANSO’s activities in Europe.

REPORTS FROM THE REGIONS
MIDDLE EAST
Middle East Declaration promises regional ATM transformation CANSO’s Middle East Regional Office was established in June 2009 with the aim of accelerating progress on Safety, Airspace Planning, Technology, and ANSP Cooperation in the region. It was formed with just four members, but since then has more than doubled its membership. New members include the Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission of Jordan (CARC), which became a full member last year, as well as Abu Dhabi Airports Company, Dubai Airports, Abu Dhabi Department of Transport, Emirates, and Etihad Airways which all joined as associate members. DFS Germany has also become the first non-Middle East member. CANSO believes that aviation is a crucial driver for economic growth, but acknowledges that ANSPs can only address the region’s capacity challenges if they work with each other, and with other industry stakeholders, to develop regional solutions. The Middle East CANSO CEO Committee (MEC3) held its inaugural meeting in late January 2010 and approved the REDSEA Vision to ‘Realise Enhance and Develop Seamless Efficient Airspace’ and a High Level Strategy which includes a seven pillar work programme. A Strategic Cooperation Committee and three Workgroups (Safety, Infrastructure Improvement, and Airspace Planning Coordination) were also established to help deliver CANSO’s objectives in the region. In 2010, a regular and continuous
coordination and review mechanism was agreed and established to ensure that all Middle East programmes and workgroups make a measurable contribution to the REDSEA Vision and Strategy. In addition, a Safety Survey was completed to ensure that the activities of the Safety WG are tailored to meet the requirements of the Region. In November, the first Middle East ANSP, Airspace User and Stakeholder Engagement (MEAUSE) Conference was held in Amman, hosted by CARC Jordan, which resulted in the establishment of the MEAUSE Workgroup. This CANSO initiative is supported by all stakeholders as it aims to align the future plans of ANSPs, all airspace users and airports. The MEAUSE Workgroup, which held its first meeting in December, will develop guidance material and provide a platform for regular engagement and consultation between ANSPs and airspace users and stakeholders in six specific areas: • Implementation of global and regional ICAO plans relating to Navigation, Surveillance, ATM, and Communication. • Harmonisation of national implementation plans with regional plans and users requirements. • Adopting and acquiring new systems, equipment and introduction of new technologies or operational procedures. • Application of user charges. • Engagement of the military to manage the airspace in a flexible manner.
16 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
• Coordination of regional implementation plans with adjacent regions. During the 3rd Middle East Conference, held in January this year, stakeholders announced their intention to undertake a Joint Middle East Airspace Study to optimise the region’s airspace and address the increasing capacity challenges. The conference covered priority topics such as the importance of the transition from AIS to AIM, and delegates were invited to take part in a ‘reality check’ to assess their progress against the AIM Roadmap. “As the demand for air transport in the Middle East continues to grow, the region’s airspace is facing serious capacity challenges,” explains Salem Jahdli, CANSO Director Middle East Affairs. “Industry collaboration is crucial if we are to develop a regional approach to addressing these challenges, which is why we have planned a number of events in 2011 to help promote best practice, share knowledge and support the industry on its the journey toward the REDSEA Vision. These include a series of seminars and workshops; a Civil Military Cooperation Conference in Jeddah in May, and a MEAUSE Conference to be held in Amman, Jordan in November.” SALEM JAHDLI Salem Jahdli is Director Middle East Affairs. He is on secondment from GACA Saudi Arabia.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY COLLABORATION
Collaborative partnerships: the key to delivering operational improvements Collaboration is the buzz word sweeping the aviation industry as it strives to achieve a global seamless airspace system. It is, in reality, the only way the long-term goals will be achieved, allowing for growth that respects safety, capacity, and environmental concerns. For CANSO, the youngest of the major industry organisations, it is at the heart of what it is trying to achieve, and the organisation recognised at a very early stage the crucial value of working closely with all stakeholders. Graham Lake, Director General of CANSO, says: “As the global voice of ATM, CANSO represents the interests of its member ANSPs. But aviation is a chorus of many voices: airlines, airports, and air traffic controllers each have a stake in the future of our industry, and each bring unique knowledge and expertise. While our perspectives sometimes differ, we are proving that, on the big issues, we can come together in constructive dialogue to deliver tangible benefits for the entire sector.” Lake says that CANSO “is committed to building stronger relationships with its industry partners and we have made solid progress in 2010. We are working
to engage our airline partners through workgroups and at our conferences to ensure that as an industry, ATM respects the needs of its customers. We have joined forces with ACI EUROPE and EUROCONTROL to increase efficiency at European airports and accelerate the roll out of CDM. And acknowledging the changing role of air traffic controllers – as well as the impact on our member ANSPs – CANSO has teamed up with IFATCA, the organisation representing the world’s air traffic controllers, to develop our joint view on the next generation of aviation professional. We are also continuing to work with ICAO on pioneering projects such as PBN. Collaborative partnerships are essential for delivering operational improvements, and I look forward to working together in 2011 and beyond.” Representing the ANSPs’ main customer base - the airlines - the International Air Transport Association

(IATA) is working closely with CANSO on performance issues in the ANS sector, and the two organisations are increasingly finding areas for cooperation in this arena around the world. Giovanni Bisignani, Director General & CEO of IATA says: “CANSO and IATA share a common goal—to raise the performance of safe air navigation services. To achieve this we must work together. We are increasingly finding ways to do so—particularly in the highgrowth areas of the Middle East and Latin America. We rely on CANSO’s leadership role to drive the exchange of best practices and produce guidance materials on important issues. “Together with partners in the airport and manufacturing sectors, IATA and CANSO are part of the industrywide commitments on climate change, which have put aviation in a leadership role towards global carbon reduction. “The top priority now is to improve airspace efficiency. With fuel prices hovering around US$100 per barrel, we need results urgently. We must continue progressing long-term projects such as NextGen and the Single European Sky that will deliver big benefits in the future. But much can and must be achieved now. The creation of the CANSO Operations Standing Committee is a great opportunity. It has a clear mandate to work closely with the IATA Operations Committee. Both share similar objectives and expectations are high. Two good examples of our shared agenda are CANSO’s support for the IATA Flexible Routing (iFLEX) project, and endorsement of the majority of the ‘IATA Global User Requirements for ATC’ recommendations.” Bisignani adds: “Cost is also an issue. Airlines operate in a competitive environment with an expected industrywide margin of 1.5% this year. Every bit of cost efficiency that can be squeezed out of the system is critical to achieving sustainable profitability. ANSP costs must be reduced. To this end the CANSO Global ANS Performance Report is most important. The next stage will be for ANSPs to use this report to benchmark and improve their performance in the years to come.”

On the European front, EUROCONTROL sees CANSO as a “welcome and essential partner” in its efforts to guide the evolution of European ATM. At a policy level, CANSO contributes directly to the Single European Sky (SES) Industry Consultation Board (ICB) and the EUROCONTROL Air Traffic Management (ATM) Board, and is represented on the Agency’s Administrative Board. At a technical level, CANSO and EUROCONTROL cooperate closely in the fields of Aeronautical Information Management through the AIS to AIM Workgroup, and in Safety Management. David McMillan, Director General of EUROCONTROL, believes CANSO is “an invaluable forum for global discussion and policy evolution,” and has a “demonstrated capability to coordinate, consolidate and organise
common policies across its membership. Its world-wide reach makes it an essential component in the evolution of the increasingly global ATM system and it provides a very useful balance to the views of other Trade Associations.” Bo Redeborn, Principal Director ATM – EUROCONTROL, says: “CANSO provides a unique high level forum for global ANSPs to meet, discuss current problems, evolve future strategies and agree advice on ongoing and emerging initiatives. Through high level ANSP representation, it contributes significantly to global harmonisation providing, for instance, an essential translation of SESAR and NextGen for global and regional implementation whilst collecting valuable input from members to help shape ICAO global plans and the associated and much needed Standards and Guidance material.” Airports Council International EUROPE (ACI EUROPE) says there is an obvious synergy between itself and CANSO, especially when it comes to European policy issues and SES in particular. “Together, we have sought to understand each other’s business and I think we can learn from each other’s experiences,” says Olivier Jankovec, Director General of ACI EUROPE. “Europe’s airports have already gone through the sort of business transformation that is currently facing ANSPs. It is important for ANSPs to understand the importance of this business transformation and the implications of the changes it brings. CANSO has played an important role in promoting this business transformation of its members.” CANSO is working with EUROCONTROL and ACI EUROPE on the Airport-Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) project. More than 30 European airports are now implementing A-CDM, and by the end of 2011, the target is for 10 of those to have CDM fully implemented. CANSO joined the project in a supporting role, primarily with the aim of raising awareness of CDM amongst ANSPs. Although this is a priority issue for both EUROCONTROL and ACI EUROPE, Jankovec acknowledges that there has occasionally been some “cultural resistance” on the part of
ANSPs to the change that CDM heralds. “CANSO is reinforcing the message that CDM is important for improving the efficiency of ATM/ATC operations,” he says. “One of the main challenges we face is changing the operational culture that exists between industry stakeholders,” Jankovec says. “Each is used to doing its own thing in its own way. But now we all need to change our approach: network implications are coming to the fore and decisions are based increasingly on network benefits. There is inevitably some resistance to change, but we need to work much more closely on solving problems.” Jankovec acknowledges that the ability to work with a single organisation representing a global industry is a very real benefit. “Without an organisation like CANSO, we wouldn’t be able to achieve the sort of ANSP collaboration that we now can, nor achieve the goals we have set. It is challenging enough to reach out to our own membership, but if we had to reach out to each individual ANSP as well, it would be simply unachievable. Through CANSO we can reach most of the world’s ANSPs and that is a real benefit.” IFATCA and CANSO recognise that they are essentially two sides of the same coin, and acknowledge that, when their interests coincide on an issue, they should look to see if they can work together. “No organisation in the aviation industry, whether service provider, airline, airport, regulator, industry or professional representative body, can be truly effective operating in isolation,” says Alexis Brathwaite, President and CEO of IFATCA. “When appropriate, there is much to be gained from collaboration with other organisations. In 2010, IFATCA and CANSO collaborated to provide joint input to the ICAO Next Generation of Aviation Professionals Symposium (NGAP), and also produced a brochure on what both our organisations jointly see as necessary for future professionals in the ATM sector. This brochure, well received during the conference, is still being referenced – a sure sign of the benefits of collaboration.”

ICAO engagement: shaping the future of global aviation policy As the global organisation that sets standards and recommended practices for the safe and orderly development of civil aviation, ICAO plays a critical role in the realisation of a seamless ANS. CANSO is therefore determined to be a key player in providing specialist ATM input into the work that ICAO is doing.
EUGENE HOEVEN Eugene Hoeven is Director ICAO Affairs. He represents CANSO and its Member ANSPs at ICAO.
20 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
Eugene Hoeven, CANSO’s Director ICAO Affairs, believes that “great progress has already been made” in positioning CANSO on the map of ICAO. But he stresses: “We must continue growing our credibility and influence” within the global organisation. ”I am encouraged by the level of commitment and importance CANSO members attribute to ICAO engagement,” he says. “That engagement is fundamental to shaping the future of global aviation policy, and to the further development of CANSO.” However, he cautions that it also requires a commitment of resources. “While the Secretariat is grateful for the support it already receives from members in our engagement of certain ICAO work programmes, more support from ANSP experts will be required in future.” In 2010, CANSO seized the opportunity presented by the 37th ICAO Assembly to firmly assert its role as the global voice of ATM. The Assembly reviews the work conducted over the last three years and sets policy direction for the next three years. Safety, security and the environmental sustainability of international civil aviation were high on the agenda. Working papers presented by CANSO included the CANSO SMS Standard of Excellence; Support for the Establishment of the Multidisciplinary Task Force on the Protection of Safety Data and Information; CANSO Safety Metrics Programme; Implementing the Global Air Navigation System – the Way Ahead; Institutional Hurdles to Implementation of the ICAO Global ATM Operational Concept; and Development of a Global Framework for Addressing Civil Aviation CO2 Emissions (a joint industry paper). Significantly, the Assembly: • supported CANSO’s call for the principles of a “Just Culture” to form the basis for achieving a better understanding with judicial authorities, critical to enhancing safety;
• recognised the value of CANSO’s contribution to developing ICAO Guidance on ANSP SMS best practices, for which the CANSO SMS Standard of Excellence and Implementation Guide provided a template; • accepted CANSO’s call for States to take appropriate policy, legislative and regulatory actions so that ANSPs will be able to provide sufficient capacity to meet the world’s air transport needs in a safe, efficient and environmentallyfriendly manner; and • agreed that the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) be reviewed and updated to include a prioritisation of actions in advance of the 12th Air Navigation Conference in November 2012. Hoeven stresses: “CANSO’s mission at ICAO is clear: to provide the ANSP perspective on policy and regulatory issues affecting ATM and the institutional changes that must be accommodated at the State level if ANSPs are to deliver superior performance in service delivery.” Other ICAO initiatives to which CANSO is making a contribution include: • Development of definitions of terms and concepts for a new ICAO Annex on Safety Management to be introduced as part of the Chicago Convention in 2012. • Leadership in the regional rollout of a new standardised tool for measuring and reporting fuel and CO2 savings achieved through implementation of operational improvements at the State and regional level. The tool will be used by ICAO regional planning and implementation groups (PIRGs) and a benefits report for 2011 will be made available, by region, by mid-2012 on a manageable set of air navigation systems improvements. • CANSO has also agreed to take the lead in the communication and operational implementation of new reduced Separation Standards over the next three years, as well as other ATM initiatives such as the new ICAO

flight plan, which is to be introduced by 15 November 2012. • Described by Hoeven as “a new chapter in our engagement of ICAO,” CANSO will also be providing support for the PBN Go Team activity, agreeing with IATA the prime opportunities for benefit of PBN implementation over the next two years and determining the appropriate staffing to be funded. • CANSO is one of the organisations partnering ICAO in a Global Runway Safety Symposium scheduled for May this year. Its aim is to bring together people from diverse professional domains to determine a multidisciplinary approach to improving runway safety worldwide. CANSO is also supporting the concept of subsequent Regional Runway Safety Summits, which could potentially be combined with an established CANSO event such as the Global ATM Safety Conference. • CANSO will also participate in the 12th Air Navigation Conference in November 2012 that will set the global policy direction for ANS provision for the coming decade. This is considered “the most important ICAO event yet for CANSO and its member ANSPs,” says Hoeven. It is expected to endorse revisions to the GANP and CNS technology roadmaps. In September this year, ICAO will host a Global Air Navigation Industry Forum to better understand the needs and requirements of operators, service providers, and manufacturers. CANSO is expected to play a significant role in this preparatory event.
• CANSO has also contributed to a new ICAO Circular on “Civil-Military Cooperation in Air Traffic Management” developed by the Informal Civil-Military Drafting Group and aimed at providing guidance to State policy-makers and regulators. The guidance material is the basic framework for regional workshops on Civil-Military Cooperation. • CANSO was also invited by ICAO to attend the second meeting of the Standards Roundtable, aimed at coordinating standards development and prioritisation, and ensuring that new technologies or techniques arising from ATM modernisation programs such as NextGen and SESAR are subject to international review for their consistency with the GANP. The forum provides the necessary high-level oversight needed to achieve this, and allows CANSO to provide additional insight into systems and operational requirements that are in need of global standardisation. • CANSO was also involved in determining the terms of reference of the International Volcanic Ash Task Force, and is now an active participant in the ongoing work to establish tasks and deliverables in the areas of ATM contingency planning, flight planning information dissemination, and operational information exchange. “There exist many opportunities for CANSO to exercise greater influence at ICAO,” says Hoeven. “I am encouraged that members increasingly recognise that effective engagement of ICAO is a key ingredient to realising our Global Vision of seamless air navigation services.”

OPERATIONS
OSC making great strides after first full year of initiatives The CANSO Operations Standing Committee (OSC) was set up in June 2009 and after a year of bedding in, now has a full work programme up and running, and is already clocking up milestones.
DAN SMILEY Dan Smiley is CANSO’s Programme Manager, ATM Operations. He is on secondment from the FAA-ATO for two years.
The aim of the OSC is to provide “leadership, guidance, and facilitation to enable optimised ATM performance through the harmonisation of ATM systems and operations,” according to Dan Smiley, Programme Manager Operations, who is on secondment from the FAA. The Committee also “facilitates the promotion and exchange of industry best practice in operations and technical areas, helping ANSPs to establish themselves on their optimal performance improvement path.” Its remit is essentially threefold: 1. provide guidance and strategic vision both internally and to external bodies and organisations on matters relating to increasing the efficiency of ATM; 2. work with ICAO and IATA on a methodology to assess ATM operational capabilities and provide performance driven options for co-operative global improvements. And to collaborate with other key stakeholders; and 3. propose recommendations for CANSO members to improve operational and technical management processes and performance. In turn, the OSC provides CANSO members with a mechanism to exchange information on operational and technical ATM best practices, and establish common CANSO positions on a broad range of operational and technical issues. The OSC provides operational leadership in the implementation of future ATM improvements, and represents the best interests of CANSO members to relevant governmental, institutional, regulatory, legislative, industrial and research bodies. The work is done through five workstreams comprising nine workgroups with a total of 17 initiatives. In
22 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
addition, a series of seminars have been selected as the best delivery method to share best practices, concepts, tools and ideas borne out of the workgroup activities.
ATM Operational Efficiency The first of these seminars – the Phaseof-Flight Best Practices Seminar – was held in Singapore in November 2010 under the auspices of the Flight Efficiency Workgroup of the ATM Operational Efficiency workstream. It covered a range of issues including PBN, CDO, A-CDM, Flex Routing, and En-route ATFM. The Flight Efficiency Workgroup is also working closely with IATA on its iFlex (IATA Flexible Routings) project. This aims to exploit the sophisticated functionalities already available on the aircraft and within ground control systems in order to move from fixed to flexible routing. This uses a combination of existing infrastructure, waypoints, and fixed-airways to obtain an optimised plan trajectory given the prevailing wind, weather and traffic conditions. “The obstacle is to challenge the traditional way flights are planned. It will require the involvement of all to reduce the reliance on the legacy fixed airway system and move to a more dynamic traffic management system,” says Smiley. iFlex will generate optimum benefits on long-haul routes through low-density airspace and initially, the project is looking at two routes: Johannesburg - Atlanta and Dubai Sao Paolo. Early modelling suggests that an aircraft operating a 10-hour intercontinental flight could cut flight time by up to six minutes, reduce fuel burn by as much as 2% and save 3,000 kilograms of CO2 using flexible routing.

CANSO is developing relevant guidance material for its members and a pilot project is planned for 2011 where actual flights will be able to plan and fly airline-derived flight trajectories in a proof-of-concept exercise.
ATM Operation Harmonisation The work of the ATM Operation Harmonisation workstream is divided up between three workgroups: ATM Services Harmonisation, ICAO Flight Plan 2012, and Procedures and Phraseology Harmonisation. In June 2010, CANSO published its response to an IATA report on User Requirements for Air Traffic Services, presenting the ANSP view on CNS areas identified by IATA. Compiled by participants of the ATM Harmonisation Workgroup, the response document concluded that, although the CANSO and IATA views are aligned on the majority of areas, there are some important differences in the areas of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) and Primary Surface Radar (PSR). CANSO believes there is a safety case for both systems to be maintained,
particularly at airports where the fleet mix remains very diverse. The ATM Services Harmonisation Workgroup is focusing its attention on “establishing a Concept of Operations from the ANSP perspective to align with the ICAO CNS Roadmap of the future,” says Smiley. “We are working with ICAO on behalf of the ANSP community to support development of a global roadmap with significant focus on operational improvements and benefits. Our input will focus less on CNS/ATM per se, but more on service provision and how to optimise new technology.” The workgroup is also conducting city pair analysis on improved longhaul route efficiencies between Singapore and London. The ICAO Flight Plan 2012 Workgroup is working closely with ICAO on a new flight plan format scheduled for implementation in November 2012. “The transition to this new flight plan is extremely important in that it will deliver operational benefits for onboard avionics,” explains Smiley. “We are working with ICAO to develop a briefing about transition planning that we will distribute to ANSPs to assist them in
preparing for the change. In addition, we are creating regional teams that will work with the ANSPs to raise awareness.” In response to a request from ICAO, the Procedures and Phraseology Harmonisation Workgroup is working with CANSO members to help define changes to SIDs/STARs phraseology. Table top exercises analysing phraseology for 10 different SID/STAR scenarios have been completed and the results reported to ICAO. Phase 2 of the project will involve simulations of CANSO recommended language. Other projects identified for this workgroup include development of consistent units of measurement, and development of a plan for harmonisation of optimised profile flight procedures.
ATM Standards of Excellence The ATM Standards of Excellence workstream is divided up into two workgroups. The Performance Metrics Workgroup has been tasked with developing operational performance metrics and guidance materials. The metrics work is being handled by the CANSO Environment work programme, because it is already collecting this data.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
The workgroup is also responsible for organising the second of the OSC’s three seminars, on Performance Metrics and Measurements, scheduled for Fall 2011. The Operational Capability Workgroup has been tasked with developing an operational capability assessment process/tool. This group held its initial meeting in October 2010 and work is now underway.
ANSP and Industry Partnerships The fourth workstream – ANSP and Industry Partnerships – has just one workgroup: the CANSO Partnerships Workgroup that is responsible for furthering collaboration between CANSO and other industry organisations, and in particular IATA and ICAO. “This workstream is, if you like, the glue holding the OSC together. CANSO is already partnering quite extensively with ICAO, but this an area we hope to develop further,” says Smiley. In October 2010, Smiley was present when the CANSO Executive Committee met with Nancy Graham, Director of ICAO’s Air Navigation Bureau, to identify global priorities for both organisations and to further the dialogue on a CANSO – ICAO collaborative work programme. Particular areas where ICAO felt CANSO could provide substantive industry support included: • Implementing ICAO Flight Plan 2012; • Supporting CNS/ATM modernisation roll out, particularly technologies that will increase system capacity by reducing separation standards; • Civil-Military collaboration on airspace use; • PBN implementation and support to the IATA/ICAO Go-Teams; and • UAS integration. Also in October, the OSC agreed a common work programme with IATA that will see the OSC and IATA’s Operations Committee (OPC) working together on five Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) initiatives, five beneficial PBN procedure initiatives, and five
flexible routing (iFLEX) initiatives. Exact details of these initiatives are still being finalised but have been agreed as part of CANSO’s Waypoint 2013 strategy. “So, as you can see, we have been very active in fostering partnerships in several directions,” said Smiley. “While the work may not always be obvious - ‘partnering’ and ‘partnerships’ sometimes don’t point to tangible initiatives - it really is the underlying activity that will ensure our success. We can’t do it alone, but together we can probably get it all done.” A further initiative for this workgroup in 2011 is conducting regional airspace studies. These are initially under consideration for the Middle East and Latin America/Caribbean regions. These studies will establish a baseline and then consider how improvements can be made in efficiency and other areas of operation. Both Boeing and Airbus as well as a number of ANSPs in the Middle East have requested an airspace study because at many airports in the region, capacity is under-utilised due to airspace capacity constraints. In the Latin America/Caribbean region, the airspace study will examine radar and ADS-B opportunities, and consider the possibility of approaching global funding sources such as the World Bank to secure funding assistance for such projects.
Efficient and Collaborative Use of Airspace The final workstream – Efficient and Collaborative Use of Airspace – consists of two workgroups: the Collaborative Airspace Workgroup and the UAS Integration Workgroup. The Collaborative Airspace Workgroup is helping to draw up civilmilitary guidance material for ICAO and the final draft was presented to the ICAO Assembly in September. As part of a roll-out campaign planned for 2011-13, ICAO says it
24 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
is planning to organise a series of regional workshops on civil-military cooperation in ATM “with the support of partners like CANSO.” It is also responsible for putting together the first Collaborative Airspace Workshop that will be held in the Middle East in May 2011. Finally, the UAS Integration Workgroup is in its infancy, but is beginning the conversation about this prickly, but unavoidable topic. “This is a technology and an industry that is being boxed up because ANSPs don’t know how to efficiently integrate UAS into controlled airspace,” says Smiley. “There is huge scope and potential for these vehicles in a wide range of safety, scientific, industrial and environmental applications and we the ANSP industry need to figure out how to incorporate them safely and efficiently into our airspace. Their application will only increase and this will be a growing part of our work programme for the next few years.” A key characteristic of the OSC workstreams is that they are joint initiatives between CANSO’s full or ANSP members, as well as its associate members (companies supplying ATM products and services), which Smiley feels is a vital component. “We are trying to get associate members more involved because they have a lot of knowledge and expertise to bring to the table. So all of the workgroups are co-chaired by both full and associate members.” Taking stock, Smiley says: “The OSC has been operational for just over a year and we have made good strides forward. There are big changes afoot for ATM and CANSO should be involved in helping the industry move forward. We are the leading resource for ANS operational knowhow and expertise and, in collaboration with other stakeholders, we are making a valuable contribution to the work that ICAO is doing to create a seamless, global, ATM system.”
SAFETY
Making safety a manageable commodity Safety is the first and most fundamental priority for the world’s ANSPs: it is their raison d’être and everything they do must first and foremost be about enhancing safety. J. Henker © DFS
Looking into the future, maintaining and improving safety levels will be an ongoing challenge because, as traffic increases and the financial demands on airspace users intensify, there will be much greater focus from the user community on increased capacity, greater efficiency, and lower cost. CANSO’s Safety work programme is involved in a range of initiatives, including safety management systems and benchmarking, aimed at helping ANSPs improve safety. Its goal is to help ANSPs reduce incidents that compromise safety while accommodating an ever-increasing number of flights and improving airspace efficiency. Much of the effort is directed by the Safety Standing Committee (SSC), which has three main objectives: • To positively affect safety performance. • To further enhance safety management among members through use of the Safety Management System (SMS) Implementation guide, workshops and seminars, and mentoring arrangements. • And to provide global leadership in the shaping of future safety development. Its main areas of focus within the Waypoint 2013 context fall into four core areas: SMS capability, Safety of Operations, Future Safety Development, and Safety Performance Measurement.
Learning from safety occurrences is an essential component to improving aviation safety
The SMS Capability workgroup is “levying the information, knowledge and output of the SSC to expand and improve SMS and risk management globally,” according to Mark DeNicuolo, CANSO’s Safety Programme Manager. In 2010, CANSO published its SMS Implementation Guide, a collection of best practices, that is “the first of its kind to provide a roadmap for successful SMS implementation,” says DeNicuolo. “I am certain it will become an invaluable document for our members.”
The aim of the guide is to provide ANSPs with clear excellence standards, a goal supported by key organisations like ICAO, which have welcomed this world first in ATS provision. CANSO is also using sections of the guide as the foundation for a series of seminars on SMS Implementation. The SSC has also recently developed a Safety Management System Global Maturity Metric that DeNicuolo believes “will become a powerful safety indicator as we push forward under Waypoint 2013.” By then, CANSO expects a

significant number of its members will have achieved ‘implementing’ status as measured by the SMS maturity metric. Another feature of the SMS Capability work is the CANSO Safety Information Exchange Programme (SIEP) which has been designed specifically to enable ANSPs to share safety information in a secure and trustful environment. They can then use that information to develop their Safety Management Systems, understand industry best practice, improve risk mitigation, and learn from others’ experiences. Information already in the SIEP database covers, for example, Strategic Safety Plans, experiences with introduced safety improvement activities, challenges with SMS implementation, key risk areas, and much more. The variety of issues submitted means that CANSO is building an extensive international safety knowledge source specifically focused on ANSPs. Crucial to the success of safety information databases is confidentiality

and non-punitive reporting processes. “Learning from safety occurrences is an essential component to improving aviation safety,” says DeNicuolo. “ANSPs need safety concerns or breaches to be reported so that they can duly investigate and address those issues. Lessons learned form the basis for activities aimed at improving operational procedures, staff training, system design, and other safety-critical aspects of aviation. However, the spread of more aggressive litigation on safety issues has the potential to damage the principles of a Just Culture, whereby mistakes can be reported in an open, non-prejudiced manner. Information is less forthcoming if it is subject to punitive action. So we need to ensure protection of safety data from inappropriate use.” A Just Culture is one in which employees are actively encouraged to provide, or are rewarded for providing, essential safety-related information, but nevertheless are held accountable for deliberate violations of the rules. CANSO is currently collaborating with ICAO on establishing a Protection of Safety Information Task Force. It is also working with ICAO on runway safety, sharing best practices, and sharing safety metrics; and with IATA, IFATCA, IFALPA and ACI on raising SMS capability and sharing of data. Mentoring, workshops and training will also support the SSC’s safety culture implementation activities. Safety Culture is formally defined as “the enduring value, priority and commitment placed on safety by every individual and every group at every level of the organisation. Safety culture reflects the individual, group and organisational attitudes, norms and behaviours related to the safe provision of air navigation services.”
controller action, pilot action, or simply provenance?); • runway incursion metrics (the goal in the future is to be able to do comparison analysis of like airports/runways); • SMS maturity metrics (the ability to measure SMS implementation across ANSPs, making it possible to analyse strengths and weaknesses across areas regionally and globally). “This is,” says DeNicuolo, “our first leading metric, designed to address areas of weakness before something adverse happens.” • and safety performance measurements. A longer term initiative is developing a Global Safety Report to provide data sharing and benchmarking. Inevitably, there is close collaboration between the Safety Performance Measurement workgroup and other industry partners. It is exploring information exchange opportunities with ICAO, IATA, the Flight Safety Foundation, IFATCA, IFALPA, and ACI; and is also working with EUROCONTROL on the SMS Maturity Metric.
“CANSO is sharing lessons learned with its industry partners, levying the wealth of expertise that exists among its membership to be the global voice of ATM,” says DeNicuolo. “We can present a unified ANSP safety perspective and forward that to our partners. We are all facing new challenges that require a more collaborative approach, recognising the interdependencies of what we do.” “Imagine 2010 gave us our baseline and foundation documentation,” he concludes. “Now we must get that information out to our members, exploiting the metrics as our benchmark measurement. The real challenge with safety data is that if it starts to show levels of improvement, that can lead to complacency. So, ANSPs need to take a deeper look at the whole safety performance issue, move from lagging to leading safety performance indicators, be constantly vigilant, always strive for further improvements, and strengthen their safety performance.” Courtesy of ENAV S.p.A.
It is recognised as a vital element of achieving and maintaining satisfactory levels of safety performance. The main focus of the Safety of Operations workgroup is currently runway safety, including an in-depth analysis of key risk areas associated with runway safety. It has joined forces with the CANSO Operations Standing Committee (OSC) in this endeavour, and with IATA and ACI to achieve “a positive demonstrable safety improvement in runway operations as measured using the common safety metrics,” says DeNicuolo. “We are also working with the Flight Safety Foundation and IATA to provide an ANSP perspective to the next version of the runway excursion risk reduction tool.” All the work is being done in line with ICAO’s runway safety initiatives to ensure a harmonised global approach and to avoid duplication of effort. The Future Safety Development workgroup is looking ahead to examine what type of safety management tools, processes and procedures will be required for the ATM system of the future. It will determine what the safety management system of the future needs to look like. “It is shaping the future of safety management for the big new initiatives such NextGen in the US and SESAR in Europe,” says DeNicuolo. The Safety Performance Measurement workgroup is doing “a lot of metrics work that supports the other three workgroups,” says DeNicuolo. Its goal, by 2013, is to have all SSC members using common safety metrics and sharing data to aid safety improvement. Its work includes: • IFR/IFR separation metrics that include a determination of how loss of separation was mitigated (e.g.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & POLICY
Taking a customer focused, performance driven approach to ATM In 2008, CANSO introduced its Imagine 2010 Strategy designed to focus the organisation’s activities in the context of the industry’s Global Vision for seamless air navigation services. Alongside lead programmes in Safety, Environment and Operations, one of the key concepts to emerge was that of ‘Business Transformation’.
CANSO describes Business Transformation as the collective response of ANSPs to the recognised need to transition global ANS to a whole new paradigm: institutionally, technologically, operationally, and in terms of regulation and ANSP development. Without fundamental reform in these key areas, CANSO believes it will not be possible to achieve the ultimate goal of a seamless airspace as envisaged by the industry’s Global Vision. “What our members have agreed in the Global Vision cannot be realised without a co-ordinated and fundamentally ‘transformed’ approach to ATM,” says Gudrun Held, CANSO’s former Director of Business Transformation. “So CANSO is undertaking a range of activities to support ANSPs in their efforts to become more customer focused and more performance driven.”
Held stresses, however, that ANSPs cannot do it alone. “If we want to achieve seamless and efficient air navigation services, we must work together with all industry stakeholders. We cannot work with just one party or make the changes on our own at the local level; rather, we must take a regional and global approach to industry collaboration.” To that end, CANSO’s Workgroups bring together experts from around the world, who in turn develop a common framework, produce guidance material, and organise best practice workshops and seminars to assist members with the separation of regulation, supervision, and service provision, and the establishment of performancebased ANSP management. However, while these activities are helping to guide and support change, Held stresses that the institutional framework needs to change as well. For
28 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
example, ANSPs must be empowered to take a ‘business-like approach,’ one of the key elements of the industry’s Global Vision. “The separation of regulation from service provision - a principle of good governance - is essential for making this happen, and that is why it has always been a fundamental goal of CANSO,” says Held. To address the current Business Transformation priorities of its members, CANSO has established Workgroups devoted to Business Performance, AIS to AIM, Benchmarking, Human Resources, and Quality Management. Institutional change and performance-based ANSP management are the core activities of the Business Performance Workgroup. Its role is to develop frameworks, tools and guidance material, as well as to organise seminars and workshops in all areas of ATM governance and management

with the aim of lending requested support to members. The AIS to AIM Workgroup, which includes representatives from all regions, is addressing issues surrounding transition to the future seamless provision of Aeronautical Information, from today’s productcentric Aeronautical Information Services (AIS) to the data-centric Aeronautical Information Management (AIM). ANSPs use the Workgroup to: • interact with ICAO and influence the regulatory and institutional framework of future AIM, and alter the provision of fixed products to the provision of information; • jointly determine with other stakeholders how best to manage the transition to AIM on a global basis and make informed decisions and investments in future standards, processes and systems; and • share best practices in achieving
a higher level of performance in the provision of (aeronautical) information management services. “AIM is one of the key enablers for future ATM systems and the transition from AIS to AIM is the first step in leading the aviation industry towards the future Information Management (IM) environment,“ says Held. “The transition will require organisations to develop a strategy to ensure the availability of real-time accredited and quality assured information to any ATM user in a globally interoperable and fully digital environment.” “While it is positive that CANSO member ANSPs and industry suppliers support the holistic approach CANSO is advocating,” says Held, “more needs to be done to promote the benefits of AIM and what its implementation means to the industry. For that reason, CANSO is working closely with its members to
establish a common understanding of AIM and raise awareness of its significance and the benefits it will provide for future ATM.” Building on the publication of the organisation’s ‘Transition from AIS to AIM’ brochure, the Workgroup organised an ‘AIM theatre’ at CANSO’s Global ATM Summit in June 2010 to give Member CEOs the opportunity to find out more about the subject. Since then, the group has developed an ‘AIS to AIM Reality Check’ designed to help organisations assess their progress and next steps against an AIM Roadmap. It was first tested at the CANSO Middle East Conference in January 2011. “The questionnaire was well received and will be used as a template for all CANSO Regions, in 2011 and beyond,” explains Held. The Workgroup is also exploring development of a future ‘AIM Business

Model’ to help ANSPs assess the impact of the transformation process. The Quality Management (QM) Workgroup addresses a range of QM issues, including the need for Integrated Management Systems (IMS) which integrate all management disciplines (e.g. safety, security, quality, and environment) in one system. “Quality Management is a very effective management tool that helps ANSPs improve and monitor the performance of their organisations,“ says Held. In 2010, the Workgroup developed a Quality Management Fitness Check for ANSPs. “The Fitness Check is a selfassessment tool which was designed to help ANSPs identify where they are now in relation to the Global Vision, and then define where they plan to be in three to five years time,” says Held. “We received 30 responses from 55 members and expect to receive a full response next year now that organisations are familiar with the process.” The Fitness Check provides an indication of which areas of improvement are important for CANSO members, and which areas require guidance. The 2010 analysis, for example, revealed that Financial Risk Management and Business Performance were areas where members saw a need for improvement. Like the ‘AIS to AIM Reality Check,’ this Fitness Check can be tailored to suit specific purposes. It is a hands-on tool that helps members identify areas for improvement, discuss and define measures, and set priorities. CANSO’s benchmarking activities provide a reasoned comparison between and among ANSPs, and fa-

As part of this, CANSO collects and publishes data from its member ANSPs in its Global Air Navigation Services Performance Reports (see related article on p40). “Global benchmarking of ANSP economic, safety, environmental, and quality performance measurements is recognised as one of the most effective management tools to support improvements in air navigation service provision,” says Held. “It helps ANSPs

to understand their business better and identifies key performance measures and indicators of ANSPs around the world against which they can compare their own performance. It is also a tool used by CANSO to ensure its members are adopting a more business-like approach to their operations and responding to customer need.“ The 2010 Global Air Navigation Services Performance Report was published at the end of last year. The number of workshops, seminars, and conferences aimed at disseminating the business transformation message and facilitating the exchange of information as widely as possible among both member and non-member ANSPs was stepped up in 2010 and will be ramped up again in 2011. And collaborative efforts with other industry partners will continue as CANSO takes a more proactive role in the shaping of the future ATM. “CANSO’s mission to transform ATM performance calls for action.” says Held. “If we want to change the system, we must all work together. This will require major transformation within the industry, but also within CANSO itself. CANSO will need more resources and different competencies to manage the growth of new regions, the development of its work programmes and activities, and to adapt to new circumstances while maintaining a leadership role.” GUDRUN HELD Gudrun Held served as CANSO’s Director Business Transformation on secondment from DFS Germany from 2008-2010.
ENVIRONMENT
Reducing ATM’s impact on the environment With world attention focused increasingly on aviation’s contribution to the human acceleration of climate change, the ATM sector and the role it plays on the environmental stage is increasingly coming under the spotlight. But far from shying away from the attention, the ATM industry, with CANSO at its lead, is stepping up to the plate to ensure it is doing all it can to mitigate aviation’s impact in terms of noise, emissions and fuel consumption. CANSO is committed to improving ATM operational and environmental performance, and the CANSO Environment work programme has brought together global ATM environmental experts with the aim of improving system-wide response and management of environmental ATM issues. The group promotes best practice, informs members of
important case studies, has set an aspirational efficiency goal, and provides practical tools for ANSP managers. It also offers practical assistance and guidance to improve ATM environmental performance. “It is important that ATM understands its effect on the environment,” says Tim Rees, Environment Programme Manager, who is on secondment from Airservices Australia. “While the total impact of ATM is important, the accurate mapping of the ATM efficiency ‘pool’ will highlight where culture, behaviour, process and technology need to change to support the goals of reducing our effect on the environment.”
Under the auspices of the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), the aviation industry has collectively set itself a target of reducing CO2 emissions by 50% by 2050, based on 2005 levels. Addressing the ATM community’s contribution to this goal, CANSO has published its own Global Environment Efficiency Goals for 2050, laying out its own aspirations of where airspace efficiency should be by the year 2050. In 1999, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that ATM inefficiency was in the order of 12%. Since then, CANSO research suggests that improvements have brought the level of airspace efficiency H. J. Koch © DFS

up to an average of approximately 92% (although with considerable regional variations), representing a 4% improvement since 1999 despite a doubling in the amount of air traffic. Improvements have been achieved through global measures such as RVSM and regional ATM efforts such as Air Traffic Flow Management, Collaborative Decision Making, and Continuous Descent Operations. CANSO estimates that some 4% efficiency still remains to be recovered from within the system and that is the target it has set for ATM. Rees acknowledges, however, that 100% ATM efficiency is unlikely to be achievable as some inefficiency is unrecoverable due to necessary operating constraints and interdependencies, such as safety, capacity, weather and noise. “Balancing competing requirements on safety, capacity, noise, emissions and politics means that a pure focus on CO2 emissions is never going to be possible,” he says. “Having said that, however, we believe ANSPs should be turning the spotlight on themselves and asking if they are doing all they can.” CANSO has estimated that interdependencies relate to half the total inefficiencies in the system. When it has recovered all the inefficiency not
subject to interdependencies, CANSO expects the global ATM system to be between 95% and 98% efficient by 2050. That represents savings of 79 million tons of CO2 per year by 2050 relative to 2005. “That 4% might not sound like much,” Rees says, “but it’s half of the available inefficiencies, the rest being inherent in the ATM system due to safety and other factors. In fact, it will be an enormous task because air traffic is forecast to grow by a factor of four in that same timeframe. Historically, airspace efficiency declines with each additional flight.” Efficiency improvements can be achieved by moving towards fuel optimal flight procedures within the bounds of the current interdependencies, and by reducing the effect of the interdependencies, including such measures as increasing capacity, reducing noise restrictions, and other initiatives. “Some of these can be directly introduced by ANSPs, such as new operating procedures,” says Rees. “However, many rely on other participants in the aviation system, such as institutional change to reduce airspace fragmentation. We are endeavouring to understand and limit aviation’s environmental footprint and to that end
ATM Efficiency & Air Traffic Growth

we have adopted an environmental code of conduct, agreed a number of measurements and targets, and are fostering the exchange of best practices to improve environmental performance.” Last year, CANSO published an Environmental Awareness Package, which Rees describes as “one of the workgroup’s biggest deliverables for 2010.” He says that “now we must follow up how individual ANSPs can use it to achieve their environmental goals.” However, he stresses, “the measure of CANSO members’ success is not in developing targets and guidance material. Success lies in how effective we are in implementing them – in reducing the ATM effect on the environment.” “Imagine 2010 was about policy, guidance and gaining momentum,” Rees adds. “Was it just talk and good intentions, or did it change something in the ATM environment? I believe it did make a change, and Waypoint 2013 takes us forward from there. It is about implementing that policy and driving uptake in the ANSP community. So the three keywords I would pick are implementation, uptake, and benefit. We need to implement best practice, we need to measure the extent of uptake, and we need to measure and communicate the environmental benefit of the initiatives.”
A Metrics and Measurement (M&M) subgroup within the Environment work programme is creating global metrics and measures to measure ATM’s carbon footprint and identify where inefficiencies exist within the system in order to facilitate proper cost benefit analysis of any environmental improvements. The aim is to baseline current ATC operations, highlight specific areas requiring improvement, develop targets for improvement, and generate political will for change. The M&M subgroup is working closely with the CANSO Operations Standing Committee (OSC) in this field because environment and operations are, says Rees, inextricably linked. “An ATM operational improvement may well have an environmental benefit as well,” he explains. “The science behind reducing fuel burn and metrics and communications and target setting are all part of a common culture. We have a real opportunity here to take what we have developed from an environmental standpoint to influence operational change. But by blending operations and environment together, we are also ensuring that the environmental work doesn’t set unrealistic operational targets.” The workgroup is also coordinating its metrics and measures efforts with ICAO’s CAEP which it believes is uniquely qualified to steer global implementation of CO2 mitigation measures and ensure they do not adversely impact other sensitive aviation environmental areas such as noise and local air quality. Rees points out that not all ANSPs have a separate environment department or capability, but stresses that they can leverage the expertise that exists within CANSO for help in making operational changes that go beyond operational improvements. “ANSPs are just starting to tap into this resource,” Rees says. “It is often hard to persuade the operational
CDM at Munich airport is one example of an initiative that aims to increase ATM efficiency
parts of an organisation to focus on environmental factors if there is no system in place internally to champion the environmental cause. We can help organisations to make the operational case because that is often where the most tangible benefits are to be found.” Rees points out that hard metrics can help ANSPs prove to their airline customers and other stakeholders how much ATM is contributing to reducing aircraft emissions and fuel consumption and that, he says, will inevitably also aid communications and collaboration efforts. Rees says collaboration is the buzz word for 2011 and he is encouraging much closer stakeholder engagement. In addition to its work supporting the ICAO CAEP, the Environment work programme is also involved in a number of initiatives with other
industry organisations including the ACI, EUROCONTROL, ATAG, IATA as well as industry regulators. “However, we need to support this work even further to drive change. Working more closely with CANSO members and with stakeholders will be key to our success. If we - the various aviation sectors - can continue to unite, we will be able to deliver the additional performance improvements required to deliver a sustainable future. We have the expertise in the group, and the passion and the drive – we just need to find our voice and let it be heard.” TIM REES Tim Rees leads the Environment work programme. He is on secondment from Airservices Australia.

Role changes will likely have profound implications for the recruitment and retention of ATCOs
HUMAN RESOURCES
Determining the human role in the ATM system of the future A milestone for CANSO in 2010 was publication of a unique document - The Next Generation Aviation Professional (NGAP). It is the first document to be jointly produced by CANSO, representing the organisations that control the world’s airspace, and IFATCA (the International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers’ Associations) which represents the men and women ‘at the coalface’ responsible for keeping the skies safe on a day-to-day basis. 34 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
The NGAP document was produced in response to an ICAO Task Force involving all industry stakeholders that is examining the sort of regulatory regime that will apply to the next generation of aviation professionals. “Next generation ATM systems and technology will be based on a completely different operating concept,” explains Samantha Sharif, CANSO’s Director Industry Affairs. “The role of both pilots and controllers will change radically as the ATM environment shifts from man controlling machine to aircraft determining their own flight path and automation ensuring separation.” Today’s reactive and tactical air traffic control (ATC) environment will be replaced by more proactive and strategic Air Traffic Management (ATM), with controllers managing traffic flows. Active tactical intervention will be the exception rather than the rule and, ultimately, separation will be an intrinsic function of automation. Most of the controller workload will involve trajectory management, using four dimensional trajectories tailored to particular traffic conditions. Airspace

the relationships between the various aviation sectors - airports, airlines and ANSPs - and have profound implications for the recruitment and retention of staff in the future. “It is both a threat and an opportunity,” says Sharif. “We need to determine the fundamental underlying philosophy of the future system and work out how people fit into it. What are the key skills set and profile we will be looking for in our future controllers and pilots? Those are the drivers behind NGAP.”
An increasingly mobile workforce
will be dynamic and airspace boundaries will change to suit traffic flows, even in the terminal area. Airspace attributes will also change during the day in response to ATM service requirements, and traditional distinctions between terminal and en-route will disappear. There may be more than one service provider for a given airspace block and controllers may be responsible for a given set of aircraft as the set progresses as opposed to all aircraft within a particular airspace block. Even traffic control at the airport may ultimately be handled from remote virtual towers, again with automation replacing the controller and pilot for ensuring separation. The whole ATM system will be performance based, and as a result, the overall system will effectively be in continuous transition. Areas where a high level of performance is required will inevitably advance to newer systems and technology before areas with lower performance requirements. And a high level of automation will be required in meeting the highest ATM performance requirements. These changes will also impact
CANSO’s Human Resources workgroup has developed a range of metrics to benchmark ATCO performance in remuneration, overtime, absenteeism, turnover, and retention. The latter is increasingly seen as a challenge for the future. A career in ATC was traditionally viewed as a ‘job for life,’ whereby the individual ATCO would expect to serve his or her entire career with one employer. More recently, however, ATCOs have become increasingly mobile, moving between ANSPs for personal or career progression reasons. At the other end of the equation, ANSPs are also actively recruiting from each other to address shortfalls in their numbers of controllers, engineers and technicians. It is also proving more difficult to recruit and retain younger generation controllers. Even those who initially complete the training may leave after just a few years to seek new opportunities in other industries. “The next generation are much more au-fait with technology than today’s controllers, but keeping them in the job will require an entirely different mindset,” says Sharif. “The ATM employer brand is difficult to position in comparison with our aviation partners, the airlines and airports, with their high-profile worldwide opportunities. The winners of the brightest of the new work force will be the companies with the best recruitment, training and
retaining programmes to meet the expectations of the new generation. The correct balance of human roles, technology and automation will be critical for success.” The introduction of advanced automation inevitably means that ATCOs will be able to handle significantly increased numbers of aircraft. The number of ATCOs will therefore decrease in proportion to traffic growth. Every two years, CANSO produces human resources metrics and ATCO remuneration reports, and has also published an inaugural metrics report on staffing levels. It is likely this will be updated in 2013. “We need to maintain close social dialogue with the unions so that they know how these changes will affect their members, and so that they can be an active part of the solution,” says Sharif. Sharif says that although CANSO’s initial focus from an NGAP point of view is on ATCOs, it will also in future be looking more closely at issues facing the next generation of ATSEPs (ATS engineering personnel). As ATM becomes more systems than human driven, the role of the ATSEP is inevitably going to increase and for that reason, the engineering support side of the industry is targeting greater parity with controllers, and would like to see ATSEP licensing along similar lines to ATCO licensing. “At present, ATCOs are our main focus and once we have addressed those issues, we will turn our attention to engineering support personnel,” Sharif says. By the end of this year, the ICAO NGAP Taskforce will have completed development of competencies for most of the Personnel Licensing functions for airline pilots (ATPLs), ATCOs and ATSEPs. Future plans for the CANSO HR workgroup include a worldwide survey on NGAP perceptions, identification of barriers, learning styles and recruitment. This may be conducted in cooperation with IFATCA and IFATSEA. “CANSO is bringing users together to help shape the future for our next generation personnel,” concludes Sharif.

Month-by-month total IFR Movements comparison 2010 vs. 2009
2007 2008 2009 2010
IFR Movements data for December 2010 indicates that the industry returned to just above levels recorded for the same month in 2008, and well above the corresponding figure for December 2009. The total number of IFR movements recording during the whole of 2010 is now very nearly back up to 2008 levels, just before the worst impact of the financial downturn began to be felt in aviation. And for almost every month in 2010, the number of IFR movements recorded was up on 2009, with the exception of April. CANSO attributes this dip to the impact of the European volcanic ash disruption on global aviation.

GLOBAL ATM DATA & ANALYSIS
Benchmarking report reflects industry’s will to improve CANSO’s 2010 Global Air Navigation Services Performance Report clearly highlights just how difficult a year 2009 was for aviation: one of the worst the industry has seen in terms of passenger demand.
The report, compiled during the second half of 2010 using the most recent year of full data available, reflects how the 2008 global economic crisis continued to affect the industry well into 2009. Measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs), world passenger traffic for the year was down by 2.5% from 2008, and freight 10.1%. Conditions that impact air transport have a cumulative effect on ANSPs, as can be clearly traced through the pages of the report, which represents a significant step forward in CANSO’s performance benchmarking efforts. It is the first to be approved for public release
40 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
with individual ANSPs clearly identified against their own statistics, reflecting an unprecedented desire for transparency and a clear commitment to continuous improvement in performance. Preliminary figures for 2010 indicate that 2009 was likely the bottom of the current downturn. However, as traffic starts to grow again, ANSPs will have to balance containing costs against increasing staff training and the installation and commissioning of new technology to handle that growth. Maintaining current service charges will be a significant challenge. The performance results reflected in the 2010 report cover each of the
years from 2005 to 2009, inclusive, plus a cumulative overview for the fiveyear period as a whole. They include performance data related to productivity, cost effectiveness and price, revenue, and profitability for the 30 CANSO member ANSPs around the world that provided data. The report shows that, in 2009, controlled traffic for these providers was down 7.5%, and revenue fell an average of 4.3% compared with 2008. Against this backdrop, overall costs increased by 1.9%, A total of 29 ANSPs provided Productivity data for 2009. In terms of IFR Flight Hours per ATCO in Continental Operations the average was 904, with 15
of the 29 ANSPs achieving a higher level of productivity than the average. The US FAA, NAV CANADA, the Airports Authority of India, and SENEAM reported the highest levels of productivity, while UKSATSE (Ukraine) and Georgian Air Navigation Ltd, reported the lowest. Across the 29 ANSPs reporting productivity, the IFR Flight Hours per ATCO range from 296 to 1,631 with half of the ANSPs falling between 689 to 1,144, a difference of 66%. Underlying factors impacting ATCO productivity may include labour laws, vacation/ leave schedules, working hours per ATCO in Operations, economies of scale, the ANSPs ability to schedule to meet
demand, and the differences between terminal and en route operations. In terms of cost effectiveness, the 27 ANSPs that provided data reported an average cost (in USD) per Continental IFR Flight Hour of $605, with costs showing a range from $124 to $1,756 with half falling between the $467 and $749 mark. Of the 13 ANSPs above the average, LVNL (The Netherlands) reported the highest costs at $1,756 per Continental IFR Flight Hour (reflecting the operating cost in this airspace and the impact of the Maastricht Upper Area Control centre (MUAC) airspace located above it), followed by Spain at $1,236. SENEAM (Mexico) and DHMI

GLOBAL ATM DATA & ANALYSIS
(Turkey) reported the lowest costs at $124 and $223, respectively. ANS is a fixed-infrastructure business, and operating costs are typically high and fixed, with labour accounting for up to 70%. So there is little flexibility for adapting to changing operating conditions. During the volcanic ash crisis, for example, CANSO members reported losing 25 million Euros every day due to the absence of traffic, but were unable to reduce fixed costs accordingly. Productivity declines when traffic falls, but the number of ATCOs on duty remains the same. For safety reasons, an ANSP cannot go ‘bust’ - the service must still be provided
– so any losses incurred ultimately have to be recovered from airlines, the travelling public, or the taxpayer. In terms of Revenue for 2009, a total of 26 ANSPs reported ANS Revenue (in USD) per Continental IFR Flight Hour, with a range from $124 to $1,539, with an average of $629. Half of the participating ANSPs reported results between $468 and $812. LVNL (The Netherlands) recorded the highest ANS revenue per Continental IFR Flight Hour by a significant margin at $1,539, with Spain next at $1,102. The lowest ANS revenue per Continental IFR Flight Hour was reported by SENEAM (Mexico) at $124
42 CANSO ATM Report & Directory 2011
and Airways New Zealand at $248. For the five-year period (2005-2009) as a whole, 25 members provided at least three years of productivity data in IFR Flight Hours per ATCO in Operations (Continental). Figures show that 11 ANSPs recorded improvements, with the largest increase in average annual change reported by SMATSA (Serbia & Montenegro) at 11.8% and the biggest falls reported by Airports Authority of India (10.9%) and South Africa (6.9%). Just two out of 23 ANSPs recorded an average annual fall in their cost (USD) per IFR Flight Hour (Continental) over the five year period. DFS (Germany) reported a drop of 3.3%, with Nav
Portugal showing a 1.0% decrease. The highest average annual increases for the five year period were reported by LGS (Latvia) and HungaroControl at 20.1% and 18.2%, respectively. In terms of Revenue, 22 ANSPs provided at least three years of data over the five-year period, allowing calucations of the Average Annual Change in their ANS Revenue (USD) per IFR Flight Hour (Continental). Of these, all but eight reported an increase, with NATS up the highest at 9.4% followed by LPS (Slovakia) at 7.9%. The greatest average annual decrease in revenue was recorded by DFS (4.2%) and Poland (4.1%). The report encourages ANSPs to
look for comparable organisations against which to benchmark themselves: for example, with similar traffic volume, density and type of aircraft, similar size of airspace, similar legal environments and corporate structure, etc. It also deliberately focuses solely on the core ANS delivery service, as this is the operation that all ANSPs have in common (rather than management or consulting, etc.). In future, it is hoped to expand the scope of the report to include other areas of ANS operational performance such as Safety, Operational Service Quality, Environmental activities, etc. “The primary goal of this report has
always been to encourage dialogue between and among ANSPs so that best practices, successes and challenges can be shared among them to help improve the global ATM industry,” says Samantha Sharif, Director Industry Affairs. “The fact that more than 30 ANSPs have voluntarily provided data to this benchmarking effort is testimony to their desire to improve.” SAMANTHA SHARIF Samantha Sharif is CANSO’s Director Industry Affairs.

Aeronautical Radio of Thailand Limited (AEROTHAI) is a State Enterprise under the Ministry of Transport and Communications. With the consent of the Royal Thai Government, a group of airlines founded AEROTHAI in 1948 to provide air traffic control and aeronautical communication services for airline operations. In 1963, the Government acquired the majority of the Company’s share capital from the founding airlines thereby altering the Company’s status to that of a State Enterprise. AEROTHAI’s main functions include the provision of air traffic control services and aeronautical telecommunication services within the Bangkok Flight Information Region (FIR) at all provincial airports and certain other areas of responsibility entrusted to AEROTHAI by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). It also performs related services, including: • Providing communication equipments for air transportation operations at airports both within Thailand and overseas. • Designing, manufacturing, and installing customised communication equipments. • Carrying out consultancy and training in air traffic control, aeronautical telecommunications, and engineering. • Installing and maintaining communication equipments for domestic and international organisations. Furthermore, AEROTHAI emphasizes establishing international co-operation to open up new direct routes to connect Thailand with other parts of the world, enabling more cost-effective and time-efficient flights. This includes the expansion of the Aeronautical Telecommunication Network to provide wider coverage and the continual development of the technology and personnel necessary to keep up-to-date with international standards. Research and development activities in aeronautical telecommunication systems, equipment and services, as well as the development of international co-operation, all contribute to the provision of services that meet customers’ needs.

Airports Authority of India (AAI) manages a total of 125 Airports, which include 11 International Airports, 08 Customs Airports, 81 Domestic Airports and 25 Civil Enclaves at Defence Airfields. AAI also provides Air Traffic Management Services over entire Indian Air Space and adjoining oceanic areas to ensure safety of Aircraft operations. All major air-routes over Indian landmass are Radar covered (29 Radar installations at 11 locations) along with VOR/DVOR coverage (89 installations) co-located with Distance Measuring Equipment (90 installations). 52 runways are provided with ILS installations. AAI’s successful implementation of Automatic Dependence Surveillance System (ADS), using indigenous technology, at Calcutta and Chennai Air Traffic Control Centres, gave India the distinction of being the first country to use this advanced technology in the South East Asian region thus enabling effective Air Traffic Control over oceanic areas using satellite mode of communication. Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures have already been implemented at Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Ahmedabad Airports and are likely to be implemented at other Airports in phased manner. AAI has undertaken GAGAN project in technological collaboration with Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO), where the satellite based system will be used for navigation. The system is likely to become fully operational by 2013. AAI has also planned to provide Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) at Delhi and Mumbai Airports. The Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (ASMGCS) has also been installed at major Airports. Central Air Traffic Flow Management system is one of the key implementation programmes in progress.

The world’s first fully commercial air traffic management company, Airways’ shareholders (on behalf of the Government) are the Ministers for State Owned Enterprises and Finance. Airways’ revenue comes from the services it provides to airlines and pilots flying into or over New Zealand and from the advice and services it provides to overseas organisations and international business partners. It receives no funding directly from the Government. The company is managed by an independent, commercial Board of Directors, and is in a strong financial position regularly returning significant dividends back to the company’s shareholders.

The highest priority in development of air navigation system in the Republic of Kazakhstan today is given to preparation of the national air navigation system for implementation of the challenging communications, navigation, and surveillance system for air traffic management (CNS/ATM) enabling for use of space-based satellite navigation as a method of providing high level air navigation services ensuring seamless airspace. Kazaeronavigatsia RSE systematically works for development of the national AS ATC system’s structure – implementation of up-to-date air traffic control facilities and has successfully built an effective ATC structure consisting of four AS ATC units that include ACC and TMA air traffic control and substitute eighteen flight information regions (FIR). Now we endeavor to create a national three-center AS ATC system. Kazaeronavigatsia has been one of the few air navigation services providers (ANSPs) that have made an innovative decision on full integration of working stations in the regional airports’ remote towers into the AS ATC system centers including a single hardware and software environment for data processing. The new national AS ATC system is based on communications and data link network. The need in development of own reserved communication network was attributed to large distances between navigation units, sparse population and technical backwardness of many remote communities in the Republic. Kazaeronavigatsia has built a digital data transmission network between all navigation units of Kazakhstan including ground and satellite segments of data links with automatic selection of correct path. Given the challenges that interoperability, cooperation and partnership will bring as a result of air navigation services providers actions, our company continues to optimize air navigation infrastructure based on the experience of deployment of the most advanced and leading-edge technologies enabling procedures harmonization, improvement of effectiveness and environment protection, achievement of interoperability with the global ATM system.

Malta Air Traffic Services Ltd. (MATS) is the sole Air Navigation Service Provider for Malta and provides an air traffic service to commercial, cargo and military aircraft, including air traffic management and CNS (communication, navigation and surveillance) services for aircraft flying in the Malta Flight Information Region (FIR). Notwithstanding the constant change in the world of aviation, MATS has continued to exceed expectations and continues to perform to world class standards of safety and cost effectiveness proving capable to satisfy its users and customers, anticipate and welcome change, in order to develop strategies to meet change and produce results. With today’s flight management systems no longer restricting aircraft routing via ground based navigational aids, opportunities exist for airlines to streamline their routes between airports to take advantage of associated fuel savings. MATS has demonstrated a strong approach in its limited capabilities to optimise the air routes structure, through leadership of an industry to identify the road map to Malta’s future air traffic management environment. When we look to the future of Air Traffic Management, MATS anticipates an environment where an aircraft’s profile will be managed from departure gate to arrival gate ensuring the most seamless, coordinated and delay free routes for aircraft as possible. The day to day reality of providing air traffic management services is the foundation on which we are building our human capacity, our operational expertise, and our understanding of our customers’ requirements to achieve our long term goals of performance improvement, customer focus and operational efficiency.

NATA is air traffic control Agency of Albania that provide air traffic control services for the first time in November 1990. Opening the airspace at that time was the last closed airspace in Europe and Albania joined the democracy instead of communist isolation. The process of development was quick as inspiration for democracy was. In this respect in the field of aviation we joined ICAO, ECAC, Eurocontrol and now as European Common Aviation Area Agreement member we go ahead to Single European Sky and United Europe. The principles governing the National Air Traffic Agency (NATA) are expressed in the statement of the safety policy of NATA as follow: • National Air Traffic Agency (NATA) who is responsible for providing a safe, orderly and expeditious management of air traffic, has as its principal safety objective to minimise the ATM contribution to the risk of an aircraft accident occurring, as far as reasonably practicable. • Safety shall be afforded the highest priority throughout the activities of NATA and shall take priority over commercial, operational, environmental and social considerations. • The Strategic Business plane of National Air Traffic Agency is based on the Vision and it’s Mission: Vision: By the end of 2010 the National Air Traffic Agency of Albania will be fully certified, SES compleant Air Navigation Service provider actively participating in FABA BluMed. Mission: Through our professionalism and our assets we provide efficient and effective Air Navigation Services in the Albania FIR. We do this in cooperation with our partners, we care for our customers and we continuously improve the quality of services.

The Ukrainian State Air Traffic Service Enterprise (UkSATSE) was established in 1992, and since then it has been the main air navigation service provider in Ukraine. The Enterprise goes forward dynamically and contributes to the permanent development of the Ukrainian ANS, which has long been the integral part of the pan-European ANS. Since 2004 Ukraine is a full-fledged member of EUROCONTROL, and air traffic services, provided by UkSATSE, fully comply with the international standards.Among the latest UkSATSE’s achievements in different domains are: • implementation of the project of air traffic control units reconstruction; • putting into operation the transmitting and receiving radio centers in Simferopol; • setting up the procedure of automated flight data interchange according to the EUROCONTROL OLDI standards; • implementation of the Central Meteorological Air Navigation Service System (CMANSS); • permanent development and introduction of new ATS routes; • implementation of the Air Traffic Control Career Marketing Program. The Ukrainian Joint Civil-Military ATM System has been effectively operating for 10 years, which ensures the appropriate level of flight safety and cost efficiency while guaranteeing national defence capacity. Currently, measures are taken to associate the Ukrainian Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) with the European AIS Database (EAD). Sustained comprehensive modernisation of the national air navigation system makes the airspace of Ukraine. All these measures will make it possible to provide the appropriate level of flight safety during the 2012 European Football Championship and 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi when traffic density is expected to be the highest.

Organisation Overview Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), the largest operator of airports in the UAE, was created in 4 March 2006 to spearhead the redevelopment of the Emirate’s aviation infrastructure and is an integral partner in the Government of Abu Dhabi’s Plan 2030. Wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government, the company is headquartered at its principal asset, Abu Dhabi International Airport. ADAC also operates Al Ain International Airport, Al Bateen Executive Airport – the region’s first dedicated private jet airport – and Sir Bani Yas Island and Delma Island Airports, both in the Western “Al Gharbia” Region. ADAC follows six strategic priorities across its portfolio of assets which are: safety and security, customer service, meeting capacity demands, efficient operation, corporate social responsibility, and developing ADAC as a world class company. Safety and security is the foundation upon which all other progress is based and dependent with ADAC’s goal being to ensure that the airports it manages and operates are classed as amongst the safest in the world. ADAC’s commitment to customer service is firmly built on a company promise to its customers – passengers and airlines – that it will provide safe and secure environments from which they can travel. With passengers transiting through Abu Dhabi International Airport alone expected to reach 20 million per annum by 2015, the commitment and ability to meet these capacity demands is a natural priority for ADAC. To support this goal, a large-scale development programme has been set in motion to transform Abu Dhabi’s airports into world-class facilities. ADAC’s focus on efficient operation means it puts a focus on operating and managing its assets to optimum effect and, from its inception, has employed a series of private sector partnerships, joint ventures or franchise agreements, as well as drawing on its internal talent and experienced executives, to achieve the efficiencies and quality it seeks and its customers expect.

Organisation Overview The Boeing Air Traffic Management (ATM) team is working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), international air traffic management agencies, and other aviation stakeholders to improve the world’s air traffic system. Objectives are to make flying safer and more secure, increase capacity as air traffic levels rise, dramatically reduce; congestion, delays, fuel burn, emissions, and keep aviation affordable and accessible for commercial, military, business and general aviation operators. Boeing’s approach to NextGen has several defining features: precision aircraft trajectories with look-ahead capabilities that enable better predictions; information access through a system-wide information management architecture that allows for seamless data exchange between legacy, enduring and future systems; network-enabled operations that enhance shared situational awareness and improve inter-agency collaboration and decision making; and global interoperability through operational trials in the oceanic regions that demonstrate improved efficiency through use of existing systems and technologies. Boeing is currently under contract with the FAA to help develop NextGen related concepts such as System-Wide Information Management (SWIM), Network Enabled Operations, ADS-B operations, Tailored Arrivals, AIRE/ASPIRE Oceanic Trajectory Based Operational flight trials, Advanced Flow Management, and JPDO Modeling and Simulations efforts. Boeing is also in partnership with Airbus and other European organizations to devise a new, streamlined air traffic management system for Europe under the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program.

Quintiq has developed an employee scheduling system for ANSPs to optimally match operational requirements with available resources. The system takes all relevant constraints into account while minimising conflicts in the schedule. The result: compliance with union regulations, improved employee satisfaction, superior operational performance and reduced human resource expenses. Every ANSP has its own operational peculiarities and preferences; Different national legislation, union agreements, strategic and tactical objectives and different requirements for the control of upper airspace, approach and towers. And, of course, even these may change over time. That’s why we offer much more than an out-of-thebox package. Instead, our ATC workforce planning solution is constructed in layers. The first layer performs all the essential planning functions while the second layer maintains all the ATC-specific knowledge and experience in the form of rules, planning processes support and so on. The third level is a client-configurable layer that guarantees it will always match your organisation’s planning needs. All the benefits of a solution configured to your organisation and the way you work, but with a strong foundation based on the needs of the ANSP sector.
