EUROCONTROL publishes its new Trajectory 2030 Strategy
Brussels, 16 December 2025: EUROCONTROL has today released its new Trajectory 2030 strategy, which sets out an ambitious vision of where the Agency wants to be by 2030; what it needs to deliver, now and in the future, to meet those goals; how the Agency proposes to do it; and which resource levels it needs to achieve its goals.
Trajectory 2030 provides EUROCONTROL, its States and stakeholders with a clear and measurable blueprint for the future built on strong Mission, Vision and Values statements to advance the highest standards of civil and military aviation across the pan-European network; to reinforce partnerships, innovation and fostering progress by being a reliable and respected partner with a high level of expertise and performance capabilities; and to collaborate as a high-performing team committed to excellence and innovation that values integrity, diversity and transparency, with a strong sense of duty.
"Trajectory 2030 is a truly co-created strategy: a solid strategic umbrella that takes all perspectives of all stakeholders, external and internal, into account in a very transparent, collaborative and constructive way. As such, it represents something that we can be proud of: the first EUROCONTROL strategy in decades that has been rigorously built with the inclusive aim of getting the full support of all key actors."
Raúl Medina Director General EUROCONTROLTrajectory 2030 is delineated into a series of Strategic Initiatives which belong to one of three overarching drivers of work as the Agency aims to Engage, Deliver and Modernise.
It builds on the solid foundations of EUROCONTROL's Raising the Bar programme, which was introduced in 2023, and marks the culmination of comprehensive internal work and assessments, followed by extensive discussions with Member States, the European Commission and its bodies, institutional partners, advisory groups to the EUROCONTROL Provisional Council, and a wide range of aviation stakeholders. The final strategy was then endorsed by the EUROCONTROL Member States in November 2025.
