Register for the Point Merge Stakeholder Event on 3-4 June 2026 - a chance to meet with Point Merge peers sharing operational experience, lessons learned & success stories - hosted by the EUROCONTROL Innovation Hub near Paris 🇫🇷 https://www.eurocontrol.int/event/point-merge-stakeholder-event
-------
Point Merge is a systemised method for sequencing arrival flows developed by the EUROCONTROL Innovation Hub in 2006.
Point Merge is intended to be used primarily for arrival sequencing toward the runway(s), after reduction of arrival congestion through current flow and arrival management at larger horizons.
Starting with Oslo (2011) and Dublin (2012), Point Merge spread worldwide and is now operational for 61 airports through 23 countries and 4 continents, such as Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Bogota, São Paulo, Mexico, Guanghzhu, Shenzen, Lisbon.
Point Merge is one of the ICAO aviation system block upgrades (ASBU) and is referenced as a technique to support continuous descent operations (CDO - ICAO doc 9931).
