Europe’s Vision for Aviation ‘Flightpath 2050’
Meeting Societal and Market Needs
• European citizens are able to make informed mobility choices
• 90% of travellers within Europe are able to complete their journey, door-to-door within 4 hours.
• Flights arrive within 1 minute of the planned arrival time
• Air traffic management system is capable of handling 25 million flights a year in Europe
• A coherent ground infrastructure is developed

Europe’s Vision for Aviation ‘Flightpath 2050’ Ensuring Safety and Security
• The European air transport system has less than one accident per ten million commercial aircraft flights. (- 80% for specific operations, reference: 2000)
• Weather and other hazards are precisely evaluated and mitigated. • Seamless operations through fully interoperable and networked
systems (incl. manned and unmanned vehicles) • Efficient boarding and security checks allow seamless security • Air vehicles are resilient by design to security threats • The air transport system has a fully secured global high bandwidth
data network, hardened and resilient by design

Europe’s Vision for Aviation ‘Flightpath 2050’ Prioritising Research, Testing
Capabilities and Education
• European research and innovation strategies are jointly defined by all stakeholders
• Networks of multi-disciplinary technology clusters are created
• Strategic European aerospace test, simulation and development facilities are identified, maintained and continuously developed
• Students are attracted to careers in aviation. Courses offered by European Universities closely match the needs of the Aviation Industry
