Eurocontrol is the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. Created in 1963 by six founding members, this civil and military intergovernmental organisation now counts 38 Member States from across Europe.
In collaboration with its Member States, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, the aerospace industry, international organisations and the European institutions, Eurocontrol ensures that airspace users and passengers benefit from a safe, expeditious and efficient air transport system in Europe.
Activities span the entire range of air navigation service operations - from strategic and tactical flow management to controller training; from regional control of airspace to development of leading-edge, safety-proven technologies and procedures, and the collection of air navigation charges.
Eurocontrol's competences comprise acknowledged ATM capabilities and expertise based in several European countries.
Since 2008, Eurocontrol has been implementing major reforms in order to ensure it can fully support the objectives of the Single European Sky.
Together with the European Commission, Eurocontrol is a founding member of the SESAR Joint Undertaking, committed to its success and contributing €700 million to the development phase. Through this partnership with industry, Eurocontrol will contribute to the modernisation of the European Air Traffic Management System in support of European Transport Policy.
