SESAR is all about partnership

"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.
