The Airlines’ Love of Mutual Mediocrity

Written by Aviation Advocacy on . Posted in Air traffic management, Airports, Competition

Last week, the ATM world made its annual pilgrimage to Madrid for the World ATM Congress. There were a number of interesting developments, which we will cover in depth in the Aviation Intelligence Reporter this month; but one of the most interesting was the launch of the ATM Policy Institute (www.atmpolicy.aero), a new think-tank designed to help those interested in reform of ATM to understand the issues, and the myths. In the interests of full disclosure it should be noted that Aviation Advocacy is deeply involved in the ATM Policy Institute and provides its secretariat. That should come as no surprise. We have been advocating reform of ATM for as long as anyone out there. It is to be hoped that the think-tank can take up the challenge that we have thrown out and explain why airlines are prepared to accept mutual mediocrity in ATM services, rather than use ATM as a competitive tool. Better still, perhaps the think-tank can convince airlines that they can and should be using ATM as a competitive tool.
