CANSO’s objectives in Europe are: to deliver a safe, efficient and sustainable air traffic management system across Europe; and strengthen air traffic management (ATM) performance. To achieve this we act as the voice of the ATM industry in Europe with industry partners and European institutions; represent the interests of air navigation service providers; and seek to steer the development and implementation of European legislation.
CANSO’s Europe Region leads CANSO’s policy and lobbying input into the European Commission, and coordinates air navigation service provider (ANSP) best practice in the region. Much of the focus is on shaping and influencing the Single European Sky initiative.
The Europe CANSO CEO Committee (EC3) governs and directs CANSO’s work in Europe, within the framework of the Organisation’s global policies and positions. EC3 is supported by the Director Europe Affairs and a number of subsidiary groups and task forces, dealing with a wide range of issues.
