During the last meeting of the SESAR Joint Undertaking’s Administrative Board, the members accepted the SJU’s proposal for a first SESAR Release as part of the SESAR programme. The release will provide the air traffic community with the first tangible results coming from Europe’s ambitious ATM modernisation programme. “SESAR has, is and will always be about delivering results which can be implemented easily. By the end of 2011, we will have the first programme deliverables validated in an operational environment with benefits for airlines, controllers, passengers, and the environment”, says Patrick Ky, Executive Director of the SJU. Pending the final written approval of the plan, the first SESAR Release will include amongst others solutions for efficient and green terminal airspace operations, the initial 4D trajectory, integrated and collaborative network management and cooperative asset management. Stakeholders are invited to attend a detailed presentation of the first SESAR Release during the SESAR Forum at ATC Global in Amsterdam (8 March 2011).
