Description

This project encompasses complete gate to gate coverage for all phases of transatlantic flights. In particular, the project will deliver operational changes to complex Terminal Manoeuvring Area.

It will develop and demonstrate procedures designed to allow transatlantic flights to follow a trajectory as close as possible to their Reference Business Trajectories (RBT) while remaining de-conflicted and meeting their Arrival Manager (AMAN) sequenced times of arrival. 

Benefits

Optimise flight trajectory over the Atlantic in order to:

  • Increase safety
  • Enhance management of airspace capacity.
