Air traffic management is defined by ICAO as the dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace — safely, economically and efficiently — through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties.
To fully support a globally harmonized air navigation system, ICAO has developed the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP, Doc 9750) to provide clear guidance on the guiding operational targets and supporting technologies, avionics, procedures, standards and regulatory approvals needed to realize them. The GANP establishes a framework for incremental implementations based on the specific operational profiles and traffic densities of each State. This is accomplished through the aviation system block upgrades (ASBUs) methodology which forms the basis of the GANP.
The UAE Air Traffic Management Strategic Plan builds on the framework established under the GANP and aims to provide leadership and direction to the ATM community on the future capabilities and technologies required to deliver an ATM system that is responsive to airspace users, is capable of ensuring a safe, economic and efficient system that accommodat...
