European ATM master plan : The roadmap for delivering high performing aviation for Europe : executive summary : edition 2015

Within the framework of the Single European Sky (SES), the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan (hereafter referred to as ‘the Master Plan’) is the main planning tool for defining ATM modernisation priorities and ensuring that the SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) Target Concept becomes a reality. The Master Plan is an evolving roadmap and the result of strong collaboration between all ATM stakeholders. As the technological pillar of the SES initiative, SESAR contributes to achieving the SES High-Level Goals and supports the SES regulatory framework. The Master Plan details not only a high-level view of what is needed to be done in order to deliver a high-performing ATM system, but also explains why and by when. It therefore sets the framework for the development activities performed by the SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) in the perspective also of the deployment activities to be performed by all operational stakeholders under the coordination of the SESAR Deployment Manager and in accordance with the Deployment Programme to ensure overall consistency and alignment
