A Global ATFM System

The world’s ATC system is a complex collection of subsystems (ANSPs) that are integrated to provide global ATC services.

These complex subsystems need to be highly integrated to accomplish the overall, interrelated goals of a safe and efficient system of travel.

Each subsystem (ANSP) has its own processes to accomplish those goals.
