Single European Sky

the key objectives of the SES: to restructure European airspace to create additional capacity to increase the overall efficiency

The goals of the SES: 3 times higher capacity of the European airspace To improve safety To reduce the effects of air traffic on the environment

by 10% To reduce cost of ATM services by 50%
