Press Release: SESAR: Progress report on the Single European Sky modernisation project

The European Commission has adopted a communication containing a progress report on the SESAR project, the development phase of which is being launched. SESAR, the project for the modernisation of the air traffic control infrastructure, adds a new dimension to the Single European Sky initiative by providing it with modern technologies and new working methods. It will ensure more efficient flight safety management, while minimising the environmental impact of aviation. The ambitious new phase on which we are embarking, that of the development of new generations of air traffic control tools, is now on a sound footing, in particular as a result of a strong partnership between the public sector and industry.
