In an effort to give the airspace users an appreciation of some of the planned airspace changes which are expected for implementation as from the AIRAC effective date 05 DEC 2019 , and with emphasis on associated RNDSG short-term programme, the attached brief Airspace Improvements Synopsis is provided as follows:
• Annex 1-ECAC Airspace Changes and Improvements based on State AIPs;

FOR FINAL VERIFICATION AND FULL DETAILS, THE GOVERNING AIRAC PUBLICATIONS OF | | --- | | THE STATES CONCERNED and THE RAD MUST BE FULLY CONSULTED!!! | Background On a delegated mandate from ICAO and its European Air Navigation Planning Group (EANPG), EUROCONTROL since 1994 has been entrusted with the responsibility to organise and carry out the necessary co-ordination of planning and implementation activities for improving and upgrading the ATS route network in the ECAC area of the European Region. Furthermore, the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 677/2011 of 7 July 2011 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of air traffic management (ATM) network functions and amending Regulation (EU) No 691/2010, Annex I - defines the European Route Network Design (ERND) Function ( Part A-Objective 1(c)) . This function shall ensure regional interconnectivity and interoperability of the European route network within the ICAO EUR Region and with adjacent ICAO Regions. The EUROCONTROL Operations Planning Unit (OPL) is in charge of the important capacity enhancing activities and responsible for the execution of the ERND Function. Under the DNM Network Operations Team (NETOPS), the associated work of airspace structure development is carried out by the Route Network Development Sub-Group (RNDSG) . The RNDSG consists of airspace planners from ECAC and non-ECAC States and also benefits from the active participation of several international user organisations. In order to ensure a systematic and continuous approach to airspace structure development in Europe, the RNDSG’s work programme is focused on developments in the short, medium and long-term perspectives. The short-term improvement programme is an annual process starting every autumn. Its purpose is to develop remedial proposals to alleviate airspace problems and bottlenecks that became evident during the preceding peak summer period. The process starts with a review of the performance of the ECAC ATM system in collaboration with the airspace user representative groups. Problem areas are identified and initial proposals are developed. These problem areas and proposals are then considered at the RNDSG meetings in the autumn and winter period with a view to having an agreed solution ready for implementation before the following summer peak season.
