Extract

For the travelling public in the late eighties and early nineties, the most disturbing characteristic of air travel must be delays. In Europe, this is certainly the case. These delays not only cause much inconvenience to the air travellers but also generate high costs for the aircraft operators. To a large extent, these delays are due to an imbalance between the air traffic demand and the capacity of the present Air Traffic Control (ATC) system in Europe.
