"The Single European Sky (SES) project aims to establish common air traffic management rules in Europe. On Tuesday we adopted the report by Jacqueline Foster on the SES, which seeks to improve the capacity, safety and efficiency of air traffic. That will eventually result in shorter, faster and cheaper flights. As well as reducing travel time for passengers, the optimisation of air routes should lead to significant fuel savings and lower greenhouse gas emissions from civil aviation. Indeed, the inefficiency created by the fragmentation of European airspace costs an additional EUR 5 billion every year. The average flight is 42 kilometres longer as a result, which means greater fuel consumption by aircraft, higher emissions, additional costly charges and increased delays. The long-term goal is to triple airspace capacity and halve traffic costs."@en1
