EUROCONTROL’s 🧠✈️ #thinkNetwork 2025 video on the importance of disciplined flight plan execution explains why sticking to an agreed flight plan is a must, unless it is safety critical, as every unplanned change affects air traffic control, airports, and ground handlers. When flights enter into airspace that is not expecting them, additional challenges are created for the Air Traffic Controllers in the new airspace and capacity is lost in the originally planned airspace.
Disciplined flight plan execution is one of five priorities EUROCONTROL encourages aviation to focus on to manage busy summer traffic. The explainer videos come as part of the EUROCONTROL Network Manager’s 🧠✈️ #thinkNetwork campaign to manage busy summer air traffic across the European aviation network. EUROCONTROL has also made available a webtool and a comprehensive guide for flight dispatchers, pilots, air traffic controllers, flow management positions and airports to ensure aviation organisations consider these priorities.
