New methodologies and tools to assess the environmental impact of aviation and to improve the ATM system resilience against weather disruptions

According to the “European Aviation Environmental Report – 2019”, in 2016, aviation accounted for 3.6% of the total EU28 greenhouse gas emissions and for 13.4% of the emissions from transport, making aviation the second most important source of GHG emissions after road traffic. These emissions will have environmental consequences via noise, air quality and climate impacts. On the other hand, the ATM system will be more likely affected by disruptive weather events, so it is important to improve the resilience of the ATM system in a changing climate. CREATE (innovative operations and Climate and weatheR modEls to improve ATm resiliencE and reduce impacts) aims to study and implement innovative procedures in the field of air traffic management to reduce the impact on the climate and environment, while making it more resilient to weather phenomena
