Airbus' continued efforts to improve the efficiency of air traffic management systems worldwide took a significant step forward with the first I-4D (initial four-dimensional) flight test on 10 February 2012 -- utilising a new-generation system that contributes to enhanced arrival flow management, improved flight punctuality and more capacity. I-4D is a cornerstone of the Airbus-supported SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) programme to help modernise Europe's air traffic management.
