Tour 6: Capacity - smarter demand and capacity management
 

How can Europe’s air traffic management system accommodate growing demand while maintaining safe and efficient operations? This walking tour explores SESAR innovations designed to optimise capacity across the ATM network, from local sector configurations to network-wide demand and capacity balancing.

Through demonstrations and operational prototypes, participants will discover how AI-powered forecasting, digital capacity management tools and advanced collaborative decision-making help predict traffic demand, manage complexity and improve the allocation of airspace resources. These solutions aim to reduce delays, improve punctuality and strengthen the resilience of Europe’s air traffic network.
