MONITOR
Monitoring System of the
Development of Global Aviation
State of the Art - Background
The results of the project CONSAVE 2050,
successfully completed in 2005 under the
EC Framework Pprogramme 5, have clearly
identifi ed the need for scenarios for the aviation
community. CONSAVE 2050, addressing
long-term aspects of air transport and
elaborating on limited alternative futures was
well received by air transport stakeholders,
particularly for its efforts to quantify effects
of different future developments. In this context,
a wide variety of stakeholders declared
the need for a one-stop solution for their
data needs for strategic decision-making and
modelling activities. It has been identifi ed that
existing data sources were of heterogeneous
quality throughout the European Union, diffi -
cult to fi nd or to access, and therefore seriously
impeding the quality of forecasting and
modelling of future air transport scenarios.
Responding to the declared needs of stakeholders
for modelling, forecasting and scenario
activities, project partners of AERONET
and CONSAVE 2050, among others, developed
the concept of the MONITOR project
for developing a Monitoring System of the
Cross Cutting Activities
