Green Aviation – Lean Arrivals And Dynamicity

The GALAAD “Green Aviation – Lean Arrivals And Dynamicity” project proposal contributes to the SESAR 3 IR Aviation Green Deal topic.

The project proposes to develop and validate a concept for dynamic PBN route allocation in the terminal area, in order to make ATC operations more sustainable, resilient, and adaptable to changing operational conditions and traffic demand. The research covers the end-to-end concept, including the evolution of relevant ATCO’s decision support tools. The core idea is to move away from fixed PBN arrival route structures towards a more flexible and dynamic approach. This would enable agile responses to variations in traffic density, airspace availability, and environmental or weather constraints, ultimately supporting the design of more eco-efficient route structures.

From an operational perspective, the GALAAD concept introduces dynamic use of PBN route structures within the (TMA) Terminal Manoeuvring Area operations, aiming to improve fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability, while maintaining capacity and enhancing safety and cost efficiency
