MORE EFFECTIVE USAGE OF AIRSPACE

In air transportation the rate of delayed flights because of the limitedairspace is high, about 25% of all delays. Controllers cannot handlemore than 20-25 planes in an hour, and the demand is more than this.Therefore new methods are necessary, most of them are developed byEurocontrol, European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, whichorganizes the air traffic over Europe. This paper introduces the three mostimportant methods, and another opportunity to grow the airspace capacity.
