Airport Operations
Chairman: Paul Adamson, SJU Programme Manager, SESAR Joint Undertaking
Session overview:
The technical workshop on airport operations presented to an expert audience, SESAR’s concept of improving airport operations planning. With SESAR, airports will be included in the overall ATM network and their performance will be maximised. Airports specialists from the members’ organisation and the SESAR Joint Undertaking presented this 1.5 hour session, not only the technical concept but also work performed so far and results from first validation exercises.
4D/Business Trajectory
Chairman: Serge Bagieu, SJU Programme Manager, SESAR Joint Undertaking
