Atlas of the Sky

Atlas of the Sky Originally, the atlas was born as a tool for internal use in DG MOVE, so staff would be able to find information efficiently. The first step was to develop a central database, created in-house back in 1999-2000. It involved just one colleague from the aviation policy unit and one IT expert from the former information resources team. After some time presenting aggregated data with MS Excel, Access and Business Objects, it was felt that a more illustrative way to present data through maps was needed. In 2007 an internal project was launched, in order to assess the feasibility of such a geographical tool. The work started with a small team of four colleagues, who took on the challenge of developing the project on top of their other daily activities. The effort paid off and a first version of the internal tool was released in 2014, with a limited number of maps. The Atlas kept growing until finally, it was decided to release a version for the public.     The Atlas of the Sky targets not only the general public, but also specialists and operators in the air transport field. Maps are a great way to communicate complex data in a way that is easy to understand.   Looking at the Atlas, the user gets a glimpse of the magnitude of the fascinating aviation sector. Air transport is a key contributor to the European economy, with an overall economic impact of €621 billion. It supports 8.8 million jobs and handles around a billion passengers across a network of 400 EU airports.

European Commission to grant Belgium aid for SABCA

The European Commission has granted Belgium €32.8 in aid to enable research and development of flap support structures for the future Airbus A350 XWB passenger aircraft.

  The Commission deemed EU state aid rules applicable, and authorised a repayable advance to Belgium for the aeronautics company SABCA.

  State aid was granted because the Commission viewed the technology's positive effects as outweighing potential distortions of competition. Additionally, the research on flap supports will make them lighter and increase performance, thereby reducing the carbon footprint which is a long-term goal of the EU.

"Sabca's research project focuses on innovative technical solutions for a new architecture of flap support structures that will contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of aircraft. The aid for this challenging project will benefit the knowledge base and innovative capacities of the European aeronautics industry without unduly distorting competition," said Commission Vice-President in charge of competition policy Joaquín Almunia.

Belgian authorities proved that their own financial sector was reluctant to give funding for the project with evidence showing a genuine market failure, causing the Commission approval of the state aid.

If successful, SABCA will repay the loan with interest to the EU. Should sales go over the success threshold, Belgium will receive royalty-fees. Only a small share of the aerostructures' market is held by SABCA, so the aid should not create an unfair advantage in research and development.
