This chapter provides a short introduction to the air traffic management (ATM) operational context. The objective of ATM is to ensure safe and efficient flights, from departure to arrival. This mission is carried out by a number of national or international organizations that provide different services to the airspace users. Flights can be separated into two categories, depending on the level of equipment of the aircraft and level of qualification of the pilots. A flight may operate under visual flight rules (VFR) or instrumental flight rules (IFR). Several classes of airspace (from A to G) determine which services are provided to which types of flight. A key issue for air traffic safety is to avoid overloading air traffic controllers. The chapter also briefly describes the different measures and procedures that aim at avoiding overloads while trying to match capacity and demand as much as possible.
