Single European Sky reform approved by the European Parliament

24-10-24

The European Parliament has approved the Single European Sky reform, a key project that aims to improve air traffic efficiency, reduce pollutant emissions and optimise airspace management across the European Union (EU). After more than a decade of discussions and adjustments, this new legislation aims to put an end to the current fragmentation of European airspace, which has been a source of bottlenecks, flight delays and increased pollution.

The Single European Sky reform aims to unify air traffic control, allowing for smoother and more coordinated management between member countries. Under the current system, each nation manages its own airspace, leading to longer and more congested routes, increasing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.
