Reasons for lack of capacity: Training and implementation of a new ATM system — 4Flight (2017-2019), traffic distribution with higher traffic demand on shortest routes, lack of predictability of traffic demand in certain sectors.

Suggestions for corrective measures:

  1. 1..

    Actions for route design and sectorisation;

  2. 2..

    Flexible rostering allowing better alignment between traffic demand and sector opening times;

  3. 3..

    Flexible configurations opening, according to the traffic flows;

  4. 4..

    Improved ATFCM techniques;

  5. 5..

    Flexible transition plan for the new ATM system, coordinated with Network Manager, to include appropriate mitigation measures.

The ATM system upgrades in France are required for long-term improvements and it is therefore suggested that France improves performance by better planning of phased implementation of the new system.
