ACTION DAY

ATCEUC Position Paper

The Air Traffic Management (ATM) Industry plays a key role in the air transport system. It is responsible for delivering its most precious asset - Safety.

Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) across Europe, who work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and control more than 10 million flights annually throughout the European airspace, are proud of the remarkable European ATM Safety record.

ATCEUC, representing more than 14000 ATCOs in Europe, acknowledges the daily effort ATCOs are doing to increase performance and to better serve our customers, sometimes under very hard conditions. However, while striving to improve Safety, ATCOs are seriously concerned about the European Commission’s (EC) constant neglect of Safety in the SES regulations.
