What is Air Traffic Management (ATM)
ATM provides for safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic both in the air and on the ground*
Division of airspace Vertical (upper/lower airspace, approach) and
horizontal (regional/national)
Defined flight routes and beacons for navigation
Controllers optimize trajectories

Lufthansa’s Motivation for Change • Growth Strategy
• Stay Cost Competitive• Drive innovation
Current European ATM situation
• Large military airspace• Low ATC productivity• No growth potential
• Full skies
Constraints in Capacity Unilateral Cost Burden
• Non-negotiable ATC charges
•Risk-free ATC

ATM data sharing via “ATM portal” Share all data – real time
Airlines and ATM supply all data Create ATM portal to process
data and supply it in a meaningful format
Advantages Standardized interface and
information (e.g. via web) Airline can anticipate congestion Can adapt routing real time with
adaptive decision making Provision of digital data
automatically (static & dynamic) Obstacles

Dynamic and flexible airspace utilization
Optimize special use airspace (SUA) utilization dynamically in a collaborative fashion
Differentiate SUA (core, temporary) Optimal use of temporal SUA
windows Integrated civil & military ATM Supply of real time digital data
Advantages More useable airspace (increases
capacity) Starting strategic cooperation
between airlines and military Obstacles
Ability to incorporate this data for flight planning
Security Establish collaboration with military
Incentives(airline military)Technology
Market Mechanisms
European ATC Airlines
New compensationscheme for controllers
• Differentiation in ATC services offered to airlines
• Airport/Route congestion pricing• Airlines/ATC performance
monitoring and penalty system
Slot/Holding time Exchange System
Interaction
Market mechanisms require a new relationship between airlines and ATC
Possibilities for service differentiation Airline given priority in the
airspace/airport system in exchange for a higher ATC charges
Airlines pooling resources together to pay ATC for extra service during peak hours
Leasing of „exclusive“ airways (e.g. Star Alliance North Atlantic Route“)
Advantages better punctuality for airlines willing to
pay extra cost new sources of revenue for ATCATC

Differentiation in ATC services offered to airlines
„One for all“
„One for each“
Airline ATC clearing house collaboration concept
Prerequisite: Agreement and negotiation on standard gate-to-gate performance benchmarks and penalities
Clearing house Penalty System: entity responsible for
the system disruption penalized through bonus/malus system
airline should depart at scheduled time ATC should provide agreed-upon
service performance Exchange System between airlines:
can exchange slots and holding time priorities
Database containing all data tracked and bonus points will be accessible to all stakeholders (ATC/ Airlines)

Advantages of clearing house collaboration
Requirements for on-time performance will be met
Real-time trade-off between punctuality and cost through exchange program
Stable scheduling process => reduction in delay costs; better aircraft utilization
Reduced crew costs
Better planification for lower airspace/ landing approach
Bonus for performing at agreed-upon service levels
Transparency allows ATC not to be blamed
ATC is under no obligation to meet standard
Gate-to-gate time if airline not departing on-time
New revenue source for ATC
Airlines ATC
Operations and Technology
Better utilization of existing system Solutions to overloading of airspace at peak
times Expand schedule:
Low price tickets at low peak times
Premium price tickets at high peak times Use secondary airports and enhance intermodality
Advantages: Create additional capacity Add value to different customer segments
Obstacles: Regulation of night flying (curfews) Limited public transportation at night Labor issues
Unification of flight segments Reduction of ATC complexity by:
Standardizing of existing ATM procedures and technologies
Assigning one controller per flight from departure to landing
Advantages: Seamless ATC experience Increased staffing flexibility Less controllers in low traffic segments
Obstacles: Regulation issues New training concepts Redefinition of controllers
ATC of the future
No controll
ers New navigation systems
No pilots
Aircraft at high
altitude
