Buy-in and harmonization: critical success factors
SESAR Press Conference – 17 November 2005
In brief
ƒ The SESAR initiative is user and customer driven:
ƒ Tangible benefits must be defined and achieved
ƒ Buy-in is a prerequisite and is essential to minimise risks
ƒ The European ATM Master Plan will define viable transition
scenarios for ANSPs, airspace users and airports:
ƒ Funding, workforce, coherence
ƒ Global harmonisation / interoperability is one key condition
for success,
ƒ Efforts must be undertaken on all levels: political, institutional,
industrial
SESAR– a driver for change
