Digitalisation as key element in SESAR ATM modernisation
Digitalisation is rapidly reshaping Europe’s air traffic management landscape, and SESAR deployment is driving this evolution with concrete, operationally relevant improvements. At the heart of this transformation lies ATM Functionality 5 – System Wide Information Management (SWIM), a cornerstone capability enabling seamless, standardised and real-time information exchange across the network.
In this session, the SESAR Deployment Manager will explore how digitalisation—powered by SWIM’s data-centric approach—is unlocking new levels of interoperability, situational awareness and collaborative decision-making. By enabling actors to access and share trusted information in a harmonised way, SWIM accelerates the shift toward smarter operations, more predictable trajectories and a more resilient and sustainable network.
Designed to trigger interest and open the door for deeper exchanges at Airspace World 2026, this session highlights why digitalization is a key enabler of Europe’s ATM modernisation journey.
From FF-ICE to ADS-C EPP: Making Trajectory-Based Operations Real in European Airspace
Information is coming soon.
Resilience and civil-military cooperation
As Europe’s security environment becomes increasingly volatile, strengthening the resilience of the aviation system represents a strategic imperative. Enhanced civil-military cooperation and greater interoperability are essential to ensure continuity of operations while accommodating growing military demands and facilitating traffic growth. Building on initiatives such as SESAR and the EU’s Military Mobility agenda, this panel will explore how Europe can better integrate its civil and military capabilities. It will highlight the policy and operational levers needed to enable effective military air mobility while preserving the performance of the wider European network.
Enabling a Trajectory-Based future: CNS technologies powering tomorrow’s airspace
As Europe advances toward a fully digital and trajectory-based air traffic management environment, with CP1 ATM Functionality 6 – Initial Trajectory Information Sharing as enabler, robust and modernized CNS (Communication, Navigation & Surveillance) capabilities are essential.
Speakers will discuss the deployment status of AF6 and latest CNS innovations, the role of digitalisation and interoperability, the evolution of air-ground communications, and how these elements converge to make Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO) a reality.
Designed for aviation and ATM stakeholders, this session provides strategic perspectives combined with technology insights, and a forward-looking view of Europe’s path to modernised, scalable, and sustainable airspace operations.
The benefits of Common Project 1 deployment in Europe
As Europe accelerates its journey toward a smarter, more sustainable and more interoperable air traffic management system, the implementation of Common Project 1 (CP1) stands at a decisive moment.
In this session, the SESAR Deployment Manager will unpack how CP1 deployment is already shaping operational performance across the continent—enhancing predictability, supporting greener trajectories, and reinforcing network resilience—while offering a forward-looking view of what comes next.
This session will give ATM professionals a clear, compelling picture of the tangible value CP1 brings to European aviation. Attendees will gain insights into lessons learned, opportunities emerging from synchronised implementation, and the strategic role CP1 plays in Europe’s broader digitalisation and decarbonisation ambitions.
Designed to spark dialogue and prepare the ground for deeper exchanges throughout Airspace World 2026, this session provides an essential update for anyone involved in shaping the future of European ATM.
