CP1 Deployment – Synchronised Modernisation of ATM (Part 2)

2026-07-22

The CLEAN ATM 2 Project addresses the synchronised implementation of Regulation (EU) n. 2021/116 – the Common Project 1 (CP1) – in full accordance with the provisions and timeline set in the SESAR Deployment Programme (SDP) 2022. It aims at implementing key technologies that are commonly acknowledged as those in most urgent need to be deployed, in order to ensure the overall efficiency and environmental sustainability of Air Traffic Management (ATM) in Europe. Coordinated by the SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM), the CLEAN ATM 2 Project pushes forward the Europe-wide adoption of two key CP1 elements: - Extended Airport Operations Plan, a rolling plan that allows the major European hubs to reduce congestion, delays and unnecessary carbon and noise emissions in their daily operations. By integrating the local operations Plans with the Network Operations Plan, overall benefits will propagate across the full European ATM Network, enabling for further efficiencies of air traffic operations. - System Wide Information Management, a set of common standards, protocols and digital services that allow Aviation stakeholders to exchange meteorological and flight information in a seamless way, allowing the overall ATM Network to be managed more efficiently and individual organisations to take the best operational decisions. The CLEAN ATM 2 Project brings together 40 operational stakeholders (Airlines, Airports, ANSPs, Computer Flight Plan System providers, the Network Manager, etc.) from 13 EU Member States, thanks to a set of 4 Implementation Projects executed in a coordinated and synchronised manner. The CLEAN ATM 2 Project possesses a truly pan-European dimension, as benefits will spread to passengers flying across the EU and even towards the neighbouring States. When combined, the 4 Implementation Projects will allow the management of air traffic in Europe to become more efficient, smarter, interoperable, safer, more resilient, and more environmentally sustainable.
