The beginnings of air traffic control date back to the 1920s. The past hundred years is a story intertwined with the most important as well as most tragic events in European history. However, is there one ATC story that can be told? Viewing photos of people, emotions, situations, solutions and systems shows development, striving for perfection, determination in ensuring security and order in the sky. Undoubtedly, however, air safety has become the foundation for the development of air traffic control. Thanks to the gradually introduced global regulations, as well as the experience and good practices of each of the States, it become a universal value, long before the European borders has opened. Radars, which during World War II showed only two flight parameters \u2013 direction and altitude, today are flooding air traffic control centers with endless streams of information about every machine passing within their range. Airports that once required a fairly even field covered with grass are now cities with their own lives. Progress in aviation would not have been possible if the aviation industry was constantly not trying to cross new borders and develop by introducing new means of communication, navigation and surveillance. Air traffic control has played, and will continue to play, a key role in this development. It is its units and their constant modernization and development that allow every day millions of passengers to reach all parts of the Earth safely.

The first radio stations were the size of large two-door refrigerators, and data transferred from the deck as well as issued instructions and permits were recorded on flight progress strips, which were a kind of basic \u201coperational memory\u201d of controllers. Today, all centers are equipped with computerized data processing systems, super accurate radars, multilateration, ADSB Space and sophisticated equipment for both verbal and digital communication. Only the main priority of every ATC body \u2013 security \u2013 has not changed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The exhibition prepared as part of the cooperation of the A6 Alliance communication teams is the beginning of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the history of air traffic control. This is just a start to the story of incredible achievements in the development of air traffic control. Only to a minimal extent, it presents what is behind us and shows how far we have traveled.<\/p>

But that was until March 2020. Since the coronavirus pandemic, everything has changed and aviation has been grounded like never before. The post-crisis world of aviation will not be the same as before. We will be ready to meet the requirements of the new normal and be in the forefront of the top European air navigation agencies in terms of efficiency and innovation. So that is why currently all our forces were redirected to testing innovative solutions developed by our knowledgeable experts for new technologies. For example, we have already entered a new phase of putting drones to use by emergency services. There is still a lot to improve and modernize in aviation. And this is our common task for the next 100 years of ATC.

Certainly this is not the Summer that we expected, but still there is much to be grateful for. With the social isolation, it\u2019s even more important to stay connected. We work hard to protect our employees, cope with the crisis and support our partners and customers. As aviation stakeholders, we have to stay together at this time. May our sky fill up with thousands of aircraft again!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pocz\u0105tki kontroli ruchu lotniczego si\u0119gaj\u0105 lat 20. ubieg\u0142ego wieku. Minione sto lat, to historia przeplataj\u0105ca si\u0119 z najwa\u017cniejszymi i najbardziej tragicznymi wydarzeniami w historii Europy. Czy jest jednak jedna historia kontroli ruchu lotniczego, kt\u00f3r\u0105 mo\u017cna opowiedzie\u0107? Ogl\u0105daj\u0105c zdj\u0119cia ludzi, emocji, sytuacji, rozwi\u0105za\u0144 i system\u00f3w, widzimy rozw\u00f3j, d\u0105\u017cenie do perfekcji, determinacj\u0119 w zapewnieniu bezpiecze\u0144stwa i porz\u0105dku na niebie. Niew\u0105tpliwie to bezpiecze\u0144stwo lotnicze sta\u0142o si\u0119 jednak fundamentem rozwoju kontroli ruchu lotniczego. Dzi\u0119ki stopniowo wprowadzanym globalnym regulacjom, a tak\u017ce do\u015bwiadczeniom i dobrym praktykom ka\u017cdego z pa\u0144stw, sta\u0142o si\u0119 ono warto\u015bci\u0105 uniwersaln\u0105 na d\u0142ugo przed otwarciem granic europejskich. Radary, kt\u00f3re podczas II wojny \u015bwiatowej wskazywa\u0142y tylko dwa parametry lotu – kierunek i wysoko\u015b\u0107, dzi\u015b zalewaj\u0105 centra kontroli ruchu lotniczego nieko\u0144cz\u0105cymi si\u0119 strumieniami informacji o ka\u017cdej maszynie pojawiaj\u0105cej si\u0119 w ich zasi\u0119gu.

Kontrola ruchu lotniczego odgrywa\u0142a i nadal b\u0119dzie odgrywa\u0107 kluczow\u0105 rol\u0119 w tym rozwoju. To jego jednostki oraz ich ci\u0105g\u0142a modernizacja oraz rozw\u00f3j pozwalaj\u0105 codziennie milionom pasa\u017cer\u00f3w bezpiecznie dotrze\u0107 do wszystkich cz\u0119\u015bci naszego globu.<\/p>

Tak by\u0142o do marca 2020 r. Od czasu pandemii koronawirusa wszystko si\u0119 zmieni\u0142o, a lotnictwo zosta\u0142o uziemione jak nigdy dot\u0105d. \u015awiat lotniczy po pandemii nie b\u0119dzie ju\u017c taki sam jak wcze\u015bniej.

W lotnictwie jest jeszcze wiele do ulepszenia i modernizacji, dlatego jest to nasze wsp\u00f3lne zadanie na nast\u0119pne 100 lat kontroli ruchu lotniczego (ATC). W\u0142a\u015bnie dlatego obecnie wszystkie nasze si\u0142y zosta\u0142y przekierowane na testowanie innowacyjnych rozwi\u0105za\u0144 opracowanych przez naszych kompetentnych ekspert\u00f3w w zakresie nowych technologii np. weszli\u015bmy ju\u017c w now\u0105 faz\u0119 u\u017cytkowania dron\u00f3w przez s\u0142u\u017cby ratownicze.<\/p>

Z pewno\u015bci\u0105 lato 2020 nie jest takie o jakim marzyli\u015bmy i jakiego oczekiwali\u015bmy. Konieczno\u015b\u0107 izolacji spo\u0142ecznej pokaza\u0142a jak wa\u017cne jest jednak utrzymanie kontaktu. Ci\u0119\u017cko pracujemy, aby chroni\u0107 naszych pracownik\u00f3w, radzi\u0107 sobie z kryzysem oraz wspiera\u0107 naszych partner\u00f3w i klient\u00f3w.

The A6 Alliance was founded in 2011 by the six ANSP members of the SESAR JU \u2013 DFS (Germany), DSNA (France), ENAIRE (Spain), ENAV (Italy), NATS (UK) and NORACON \u2013 a consortium including Austro Control (Austria), AVINOR (Norway), EANS (Estonia), Finavia (Finland), IAA (Ireland), LFV (Sweden) and Naviair (Denmark). In 2015 PANSA (Poland) became a full member of the A6 Alliance, together with the COOPANS Alliance for work associated with Deployment Manager and SESAR 2020; and the B4 Consortium for work associated with SESAR 2020. The A6 Alliance has also reached a collaboration agreement with Skyguide in relation to SESAR 2020 R&D activities.<\/p>

The A6 Alliance members are responsible for the safe management of more than 80% of Europe\u2019s air traffic, and more than 70% of the investment in the future European ATM infrastructure. The A6 Alliance is focused on SESAR development and deployment, SESAR deployment execution (planning, governance, funding), and key strategic areas of A6 common interest related to transport and aviation legislation.<\/p>

A6 Alliance actively participates in working out changes in air traffic management system in Europe. We are a platform of close cooperation, implementing solutions for future air transport. Together we create air traffic management of the future. The A6 Alliance is an inclusive initiative for ANSP contribution to modernising the European ATM system and welcomes interest and input from non-A6 members.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the 1970s the air traffic controllers of DFS used to think, that more than a million flights would not be possible. However, in the mid 1980s DFS reached the one million flight threshold for the first time. \nIt seemed as if the capacity limit had been reached, in 1995, a new record was set. DFS controlled two million IFR flights in one year thanks to new development in technology and revamped processes.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Today DFS air traffic controllers still guide the aircraft to their destinations as safely and punctually as it has always been. They select the most feasible direct route, which is as environmentally friendly as possible. This poses a\u00a0difficult challenge in an airspace as busy as the one above Germany with more than three million flight movements per year. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the 1960s with the coming of computers, the first software \napplication used in the air navigation was the printing of strip and \nits transmission to\/from the operations room. Women operators \nconverted flight plans into punched cards that they would then \nintroduce into the calculator. Strips were used to identify the route and the position of each flight in the control sector. For the first time, ergonomics, modularity and an easy access to equipment for maintenance are at the heart of the CWP conception. Otherwise, female ATCOs become more and more present in the operations room. With this generation of devices, the French air navigation service provider handled 1 million flights a year.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The French air navigation services controlled 3.3 million flights in 2019. To accompany this continuous growth of traffic since 40 years in a\u00a0durable way, DSNA personnel can be proud of its numerous technical and operational achievements during this decade or ongoing. Thanks to the high degree of skills, they demonstrate, day after day, their great motivation to meet the requirements of today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s performance in terms of safety, environment, capacity and cost-efficiency of the Single European Sky for the benefit of the customers and airspace users.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

ENAIRE, the air navigation manager in Spain, has a long track record and extensive experience in air traffic management. The state-owned entity Aena was created in 1990, and in 2014, its airport and air navigation areas were split, with the latter being renamed ENAIRE. Today, it renders control services at 21 airports, as well as en-route and approach control from five ACCs. In addition, ENAIRE provides communications, navigation and surveillance services to 45 air control towers. ENAIRE managed 2.1 million flights in 2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

ENAV was created in 1996 following the transformation of AAAVTAG (Azienda Autonoma di Assistenza al Volo per il Traffico Aereo Generale) into a public company named \n\u201cEnte Nazionale di Assistenza al Volo\u201d. ENAV was entrusted with the handling of civil air traffic control, which, until 1979, had been managed by the Italian Air Force and subsequently, from 1982, by AAAVTAG.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On 25 February 1920, the UK Air Ministry gave approval for the construction of a new building at Croydon Airport, just south of London, to be \u2018erected 15 feet above ground level\u2019 and with \u2018large windows to be placed on all four walls\u2019. This building was to be called the \u2018Aerodrome Control Tower\u2019 and at \na\u00a0stroke coined both the term that has remained synonymous with \nAir Traffic Control for the past 100 years and the design that remains instantly recognisable.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Roots of the air traffic control in Poland reach the 1920\u2019s and 1930\u2019s. However the\u00a0airspace\nmanagement as we know today was born in the mid-20th century, when flight procedures, ATCO\u2019s\nlicences and first radars were introduced.\nAlong with the air transport development and the growing demand for ATCO\u2019s, the first air traffic\ncontrol centre was established and the Polish ANSP launched a full-time ops personnel training.\nThe name of the company has changed, but all those duties and activities last to this day, shaping\ncurrent frames of the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

April 3rd 2006 was a landmark day in the history of European Air Traffic Control. On that day the\nCOOPANS alliance was established and signed by the partners IAA, LFV and Naviair. Austro Control\njoined in 2010 followed by Croatia Control in 2011 and NAV Portugal in 2018.\nThe original purpose of the alliance was to upgrade and standardize the partners ATM systems into a\nsingle unified ATM system that uses common software and entails harmonized maintenance\nprocesses and operational concepts. COOPANS thereby enables the partners to cut their\ndevelopment costs through continuous \u2013 and from 2014 synchronic – upgrading of the ATM system.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Today COOPANS harmonization is unique in Europe with the 7 control centers in Ireland, Denmark,\nSweden, Austria and Croatia, where the system has been fully harmonized since 2014.\nThe idea of standardized and harmonized systems has not been generally unfold among European\nANSPs. The normal is individual customized systems varying from control center to control center.\nThis means that in general most of the European control centers (ACCs) still today operate with\nindividually developed systems.\nIn 2016 the COOPANS Alliance was awarded the Single European Sky Award at the World ATM\nCongress in Madrid for moving forward the harmonisation of the European ATM landscape.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
