ICAO is accelerating the global roll out of Air Traffic Flow Management
Far fewer flights will be delayed or cancelled following ICAO’s global roll out of Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM).
Recent airspace closures and severe weather events have demonstrated how vulnerable air services can be, and the influx of new aviation technologies is also increasing the complexity of aviation operations across the board. With these challenges and the dramatic growth in air traffic on the horizon, ICAO is now accelerating the implementation of ATFM as a comprehensive international solution.
Comprising of air navigation technologies and new procedures, ATFM improves the reliability of services while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. All flights and everything that impacts their operations are fully coordinated and managed together across international boundaries before they even take off. (....)
