![]() For example, the SES could create problems concerning territorial sovereignty, such as over Gibraltar Brexit seems to have removed this problem, however (see below). Security and sovereignty: Some EU member states, mostly larger ones, have expressed certain objections to relinquishing their current systems, primarily relating to national security and sovereignty concerns.ATC job losses: The SES would threaten the jobs of many air traffic controllers, because fewer would be needed to manage a pan-European sky. ![]() Formation flying: The SES would enable formation flying, including Airbus' fello'fly project, which will save energy and benefit from an updraft.Innovative coordination: The SES would stimulate coordination on innovation in areas such as sustainability.By comparison, the 27 member states systems employed a little under 58,000 workers (including 16,900 air traffic controllers) in 2010. Meanwhile, the development of Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) technology could create 328,000 jobs across Europe. Management cost reduction and job creation: The SES would require far fewer air traffic controllers, who have high salaries, thus substantially cutting personnel costs by about 50% the number of control centres might be reduced from about 60 to about 20.Crisis management: The SES would be able to manage transport disruptions (such as the 2010 Icelandic volcano eruption), overcrowding (as was happening in 2019), as well as collapses in air travel demand (as happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020).According to IATA, the SES would reduce airlines' annual fuel costs by 5.5 billion euros. CO 2 emissions and fuel cost cuts: According to the European Commission and the aviation industry itself, the SES could cut aviation's CO 2 emissions by up to 10%, or 50 million tonnes. ![]() The SES aims to triple capacity, cut 10% in flight times, and halve cancellations and delays. The aim is to use air traffic management that is more closely based on desired flight patterns leading to greater safety (by preventing congestion), efficiency and capacity. ![]()
