Introduction
 SESAR and FABs : two mechanisms established in the SES framework :

SESAR : to develop the new generation European air traffic management
systems

FABs : to optimize the provision of air navigation services, in a performancedriven context and to stimulate cooperation between ANSPs
 Major European ANSPs like DSNA are involved both in SESAR and FABs
 The question arises “How to create/reinforce the synergy between SESAR
and FABs”
 Presentation will focus on three aspects :

Operations and performance

Technical roadmaps

Financing and governance

Operations and performance
 SESAR operational concept has built on FABs from day
one
-> SES II will be organised on 3 levels : local / FABs / network
 FABs shall support Enhanced Network Operations
 Traffic flow and queue management : extended AMAN and
synchronization (e. g. Frankfort/Paris/London vs. MAASTRICHT),
AMAN-DMAN integration,
 Improved ATFCM flexibility and advanced FUA,
 Advance operability between systems
 SESAR operational outputs require full ATCOs and
ATSEPs involvement
 -> FABs shall be the next generation level for enhanced HR
management & negociation

Technical roadmaps
 DSNA (and other major ANSPs) need 5 to 10 years to
converge to IP1 and IP2
 SESAR is consistent with FABs timeframe
 Implementation of systems must contribute to reach
performance targets at FAB level :
 One FAB model does not fit all : FAB brings the “european
diversity” into SESAR, while maintaining minimum homogeneïty

Financing and Governance
 SESAR deployment scheme currently under discussion
-> major issues at stake regarding finance and governance
 FABs shall create financing solidarity between big and
small ANSPs
 Each ANSP member of SESAR shall consider itself as
responsible of SESAR implementation in its FAB
 -> FABs are a prerequisite for ensuring a seamless and
continuous deployment of SESAR

Conclusion
 SESAR and FABs shall both contribute to SES
objectives :
 SESAR, through developing and validating common practices,
operational concepts, architecture, roadmaps…
 FABs, through implementing new concepts and systems
resulting from SESAR activities
 SESAR Master Plan updates have to reflect the ability
of FABs to harmonize and deploy new system
 Role of FABs in the financing and governance of
SESAR deployment : an essential contributor to deliver
the expected improvement in performance
