JAS 2020 : Perspective on the future Dutch ATM system

The Single European Sky (SES) framework significantly impacts Air Traffic Management (ATM) in the Netherlands. Its reach extends from the sustainable growth of Schiphol to the execution of military functions and to the Dutch economy itself. The Dutch ATM system’s current market structure and regulatory framework are insufficient to fulfill national growth needs, military training requirements and cannot take advantage of opportunities offered by SES. Acceleration of European cooperation and introduction of market mechanisms are in the Netherlands’ best interest. The implementation plan ensures the momentum of JAS 2020 and provides the required direction, deliverables and milestones. Draws sonclusions and makes recommendations.
