  1. Implementing the Single European Sky over the SE Mediterranean

  2. BLUE MED is… …a regional ATM development project aiming towards the creation of a FAB in the South East Mediterranean area It comprises four EU partner states: Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Malta… ….an unique opportunity to harmonise a large portion of the Mediterranean airspace joining the EU core area with the African and Middle-East borders. …and three non-EU states associated partners (Egypt, Tunisia and Albania)… …also two observers states (Lebanon and the Kingdom of Jordan) participate to the project.

  3. More importantly, BLUE MED is… …a joint effort of many men and women from different countries and variegated cultures building a common sky over the common sea.

  4. BLUE MED: a 3 phases project • 2007-2008: BLUE MED Feasibility Study • The initial investigation, aiming at providing internal and external stakeholders with all evidences on potential benefits of a FAB covering the area concerned. • The opportunity for the participating partners to agree on the common principle for the FAB development. • 2009-2011: BLUE MED Definition Phase (ongoing) • The detailed definition of the 2012 FAB details and of an agreed roadmap for further FAB evolution. • The implementation of specific operational/technical benefits to be delivered before formal FAB establishment (quick wins). • 2011-2012: BLUE MED Implementation Phase • The implementation of FAB provisions. • A phase extending beyond 2012 (formal FAB declaration) aiming to achieve wider integration within the FAB.

  5. BLUE MED Work Breakdown Structure

  6. BLUE MED Concept of Operations • Definition of the Concepts to be applied in the whole FAB’s operational environment. • Description of the BLUE MED FAB vision, in an evolutionary and dynamic way, independent from technology available today. • Description of actors, roles, procedures, and relations in the FAB Short, Medium and Long-term operational environments. • High level guidance to the project’s Working Packages. • Enabling decisions on strategic aspects of the FAB. • Document approved by the BLUE MED Governing Body.

  7. BLUE MED Detailed Operational Concept • Detailed description of the operational solutions to be applied into the BLUE MED FAB at 2015 with the identification of functions and processes, the corresponding interactions and information flows, the concerned actors and their roles and responsibility. • Status: ad hoc Task Force has been established under WP1

  8. BLUE MED operational improvements (1)

  9. BLUE MED operational improvements (2) • Update of route network proposals developed within the Feasibility Study. • New route network proposals developed within the Definition Phase. • Integration in the Advanced Airspace Scheme Concept (AAS) developed by EUROCONTROL RNDSG.

  10. BLUE MED operational improvements (3) Step1: SAAM assessment of Scenario Network 2010-2012 versus reference network

  12. BLUE MED operational improvements (5)

  13. BLUE MED optimised route network

  14. BLUE MED optimised sectorisation • Supporting and assessing the operational design activities • Common measurement of existing sector capacity • Used tools: • SAAM (already successfully used within the Feasibility Study) to collect all the information related to the Flight Efficiency of the proposed routes • AIRTOP to investigate on ATCOs workload, sector capacity, conflict analysis and bottleneck analysis • FAB baseline definition in progress

  15. BLUE MED optimised sectorisation

  16. BLUE MED Technical Implementation • BLUE MED is based on the concept of “Virtual Centre”, a grouping of interconnected and interoperable ATSUs providing seamless uniform operations and services to the Airspace Users on the whole FAB. • This activity is responsible for the identification of all technical provisions for the BLUE MED Virtual Centre, and in particular: • The definition of a Common Regional Roadmap for the FAB implementation (RSSIP) in the BLUE MED Area from the technical/Interoperability perspective. • 2010 Quick Win: identification of solutions candidate for being implemented within 2010. • The definition of the FAB IOP scenarios for 2012-2015. • Technical Validation activities.

  17. BLUE MED Safety • BLUE MED Safety case. • Incremental development of a Safety Case aiming to demonstrate that the operational and technical modifications introduced by the FAB implementation will be acceptably safe. • BLUE MED Safety maturity. • Analysis of the FAB Safety Maturity providing an outlook of safety management in the future FAB, addressing the need for enhanced and uniform levels of safety across the whole FAB (and, if feasible, harmonised with the whole Europe). • Also including: • A safety maturity survey, to assess the level of SMS implementation in the BLUE MED states. • An action plan for harmonisation towards a common FAB SMS. • A methodology for monitoring FAB safety performance and adverse trends.

  18. BLUE MED Economic Assessment • Definition of the Baseline Scenario. The baseline scenario, representing the situation without the development of the FAB, constitutes the benchmark against which the Short-term Scenario (2012) will be measured; • Detailed Cost Benefit Analysis of the Short-term Scenario (2012). The Short-term Scenario, taking in account the FAB establishment, will consider all the quick-wins and the short-term benefits deriving from the first steps of the FAB implementation; • “What if” analysis, of the Medium-term (2015) and Long-term (2020) scenarios. The use of the “What if” analysis will enable an evaluation of the possible costs and benefits associated to different options. • Analysis of the air navigation service charging schemes (actual and potential) and of the possible strategies for the establishment of a single or multiple unit rates.

  19. BLUE MED Legal Aspects • Analysis of the legal and institutional context of the proposed implementation of the BLUE MED FAB. • Analysis of different legal concepts, customary practices, national laws, bilateral agreements, ICAO standards and regulated practices. • Identification of the various legal arrangements in relation to Air navigation charges and ATCO related issues. • Identification of the various items that need to be considered for the BLUE MED FAB Agreement, the BLUE MED ANSP cooperation Agreement and the BLUE MED NSA Agreement. • Definition of the institutional plan for FAB agreement signature.

  20. BLUE MED Human Resources Aspects • 3 tasks currently performed by ad-hoc Task Forces: • Regulation and Compliance dealing with national laws, existing mandates, Licensing and Transposition of ATCO Licensing Directive. • ATM Training investigating existing training structure and capabilitiesand identifying overall strategies for ATSEPs and ATCOs. • Staffing Analysis addressing selection and recruitment processes.

  21. BLUE MED Environment • Definition of a shared BLUE MED FAB methodology for the assessment of environmental impacts based on ICAO CAEP draft guidance material and EUROCONTROL further elaborations. • Validation of a BLUE MED FAB methodology through its application to one o more of the proposed BLUE MED FAB operational scenarios; • Monitoring of early indications and future results from the on going definition of Performance Scheme Implementing Rules; • Ensuring compliance of the results with the relevant SES Requirements related with Environment.

  22. BLUE MED Implementation planning • Identification of the BLUE MED implementation scenarios for 2012, 2015, 2020. • Various harmonisation activities leading to the definition of a Regional Single Sky Implementation Plan (RSSIP) for the FAB. • With the support of the Programme Management Office (PMO - comprising at least 4 Project Management Officers, one from each EU state), coordination and internal management of the project definition and implementation activities in the respective states.
