Today’s partners for Tomorrow’s aviation
"We cannot succeed without the collaboration of all. No solutions for the long term can be found by only one actor: the various air navigation service providers, airspace users, airports, the military, governments, etc. must all agree on the technological solutions and the way to implement them. SESAR is all about partnership."
Patrick Ky, Director of the SESAR Joint Undertaking
SESAR is a team player. Founded by two international organisations – the European Community and Eurocontrol – it today unites 16 members representing the whole aviation community. Several members are made up of consortiums, which brings the total number of organisations directly and indirectly bound to SESAR to up to 35. These 35 companies also have affiliates and sub-contractors. As a result, a total of 70 companies are participating in SESAR, demonstrating the impact of the programme on ATM R&D activities in Europe.
But we don’t stop there. At the SJU, we constantly strive for including more experts or stakeholders and form dedicated committees.
This makes the SESAR Joint Undertaking a truly international public-private partnership.

SESAR has started with remarkable success!
Click here to read an interview with Patrick de Prevaux, Director for Air Transport, Research & Technology (R&T) and Operations for the AeroSpace and Defence industries association of Europe (ASD).
Mr de Prevaux in this interview highlights the fact that, "European competitiveness will be based on the technological results from the SESAR programme’s R&D. This competitiveness has the chance to take an international lead if we keep commitment to the programme." He sees the organisation of the programme as a public-private partnership very positively and concludes, "We are happy with the way the SJU is managed and the way work packages have been defined and allocated. Progress is remarkably smooth and we forecast successful outcomes. (...) The way SESAR is developing should be a model for other public-private partnerships."
