All Together Now: Disciplined flight plan execution is a top priority to ensure a smooth summer 2024

EUROCONTROLs All Together Now 2024 video on the importance of disciplined flight plan execution explains why sticking to an agreed flight plan - unless it is safety critical - is a priority to ensure smooth air traffic across the Network as any changes affect air traffic control, airports and ground handling. Flights entering into airspace that is not expecting them results in unused, lost capacity in the originally planned airspace and additional loading challenges in the new airspace.
Disciplined flight plan execution is one of five priorities EUROCONTROL encourages aviation to focus on as we prepare for busy summer traffic together. The other priorities include prioritising first rotation, delivering agreed capacities, realistic schedules including turnaround times and adverse weather management.

Our All Together Now 2024 videos are part of the EUROCONTROL Network Managers All Together Now 2024 campaign to manage busy summer air traffic across the European aviation network. Central to the campaign is our hands-on All Together Now 2024 guide for flight dispatchers, pilots, air traffic controllers, flow management positions and airports that recommends how each can play their part in ensuring efficient air traffic this summer and best cooperate with the EUROCONTROL Network Manager Operations Centre.
