In a sectorless air traffic management concept the airspace is no longer divided into sectors but regarded as one piece. A number of aircraft, not necessarily in the same airspace region, are assigned to each air traffic controller who is then responsible for these aircraft from their entry into the airspace to their exit. These individually assigned flights can be anywhere in the airspace and therefore in different traffic situations. This means that air traffic controllers will manage flights which may not be geographically connected.
