Resolution of Operational Constraints Imposed by Fragmentation of European Airspace

The development of new concepts aiming to increase flight efficiency represents one of the main guidelines for the future European Air Traffic Management (EATM) system development. Future EATM system design is driven by the development and implementation of various technical and operational solutions which are based on collaborative and coordinated airspace and air traffic flow management. European airspace fragmentation is recognized as one of the most prominent problems which limit improvements in terms of flight efficiency. This primarily relates to the fact that EATM system is organized and operated at national scale. This research was carried out with the purpose to signify two concepts which have significantly improved flight efficiency level. Free Route Airspace and Flexible Use of Airspace concepts particularly distinguished as good examples of how it is possible to improve flight efficiency regardless to fragmented European airspace design. Hence, the research resulted by analysis of concepts designs, characteristics and their deployment benefits to airspace users. Also, an issue which limits further flight efficiency improvements at European scale have been identified.
