Conclusion:Reorganization of sectors on a flexible and dynamic base, which will depend on the main routes, heaviest aircraft and season, weekday and daytime variables, will help to handle continuously growing amount of traffic, decrease of the air traffic controllers workload, simplify a procedure of aircraft control at decreasing the controller-pilot communication, maximize entire potential of airspace usage and ensure the safe and effective provision of air navigation service.
