Traduction de «notion de volume d'espace aérien » (Français → Anglais) :

The Dublin Metropolitan District Court (Ireland), which is hearing the dispute, asks the Court of Justice essentially whether the closure of airspace owing to the eruption of a volcano is covered by the notion of 'extraordinary circumstances’, requiring the air carrier to provide care for the passengers, or whether it falls within a category of events above and beyond extraordinary circumstances, possibly releasing the carrier from that obligation.

4. The function of European Route Network Design shall be executed without prejudice to the reservations or restrictions of a volume of airspace for exclusive or specific use by the Member States.

‘airspace restriction’ means a defined volume of airspace within which, variously, activities dangerous to the flight of aircraft may be conducted at specified times (a ‘danger area’); or such airspace situated above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircraft is restricted in accordance with certain specified conditions (a ‘restricted area’); or airspace situated above the land areas or territorial waters of a State, within which the flight of aircra ...[+++]ft is prohibited (a ‘prohibited area’);

‘airspace reservation’ means a defined volume of airspace temporarily reserved for exclusive or specific use by categories of users;

(14) The concept of the flexible use of airspace should be applied effectively; it is necessary to optimise the use of sectors of airspace, especially during peak periods for general air traffic and in high-traffic airspace, by cooperation between Member States in respect of the use of such sectors for military operations and training.

The European Commission has therefore proposed a series of measures which will allow the European network to cope with increasing pressure: - creation of a centralized air flow management system to coordinate the existing independent units - technical harmonisation to improve communication, technical compatibility and training - efforts by member states to allow some of the airspace reserved for military purposes to be made available for civilian use - Community coordination of airport infrastructure planning with possibility of Community financial support and a better dialogue between airports and their users - research into the develop ...[+++]ment of a fully integrated and automated system for air traffic management throughout European air space Improving the traffic flow A centralised air traffic management system for European airspace is essential, in the view of the Commission, since the present network of national air traffic control centres is ill-suited to managing the growing volume of traffic.
