AGENCY’S ORGANISATION STRUCTURE
to better serve the European aviation community
The European ATM environment is undergoing significant changes. In order to meet the needs of all its Member States and to
contribute more actively to the successful delivery of the Single European Sky (SES), EUROCONTROL has organised its activities
around five main functions:
Network Manager Directorate:
Directorate Pan-European Single Sky:
in its role as the SES Network Manager, coordinates network
management functions relating both to network planning
(airspace design) and operations (ATFCM, AIM) and also to the
coordinated pan-European deployment of operational and
technical improvements, including those related to SESAR.
It provides support to airport activities, it coordinates safety
actions and the management of frequencies and scare
resources. It also delivers support services to air navigation
service providers and FABs (when required) as well as ATM
training; finally it monitors the network management contribution to the performance targets of the SES.
delivers the Agency’s contribution to the implementation of
the Single European Sky, supporting all the EUROCONTROL
Member States, the European Commission (EC) and the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Directorate Air Traffic Management:
leads and coordinates ATM development and its contribution
to the achievement of the SES objectives and performance
scheme. It ensures that the Agency ATM research effort is
aligned to the SESAR initiatives in accordance with the ATM
Master Plan. It provides the appropriate military-military and
civil-military ATM coordination and is also responsible for
overseeing the Agency ATM Policy and Strategy.
Directorate Central Route Charges Office:
operates, maintains and develops the Multilateral Route
Charges System on behalf of the Member States. In addition,
the CRCO operates 19 bilateral agreements for the collection of
terminal/communication charges or air navigation charges
(of which 4 agreements with non-Member States). In all, the
CRCO collects charges on behalf of 43 States.
Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre
provides air traffic services to defined standards of safety
and performance levels in the upper airspace of Belgium,
Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the north west of Germany.
MUAC provides also its operational and technical know-how to
other parts of the Agency for the development and deployment
of SESAR. MUAC supports the participating States in establishing the Functional Airspace Block Europe Central (FABEC).
The corporate processes that support the Agency’s organisational structure are managed by the
Directorate of Resources.
EUROCONTROL is working with all its members to ensure that its institutional framework is fit for
purpose in view of the changing ATM environment in Europe and its new and potential future roles.
To this end, the Provisional Council has embarked on a review of the Organisation’s institutional and
legal framework.
