skymag no. 17: "Change in air navigation services"
You don’t have to be a visionary to realise that major changes are afoot in the air traffic management world. The present developments – which are sure to occupy us for many years ahead, and may even become a permanent feature of that same working landscape – manifest themselves in the technical, the legal, the organisational and the ethical fields.

Changes rarely occur through a dynamic of their own, and Europe’s air traffic management is no exception. If the sector today is in the midst of a radical change process, it is because of the pressure being exerted on the lawmakers by its airspace customers, a pressure that is being passed on to the air navigation service providers in the form of legal requirements and provisions. The decisions taken at a political level within the European Commission have repercussions for thousands of personnel throughout Europe’s ATM sector and (indirectly) millions of air travellers.
