EUROCONTROL's INVENTAIR

ENVISA was mandated by EUROCONTROL to create a website dedicated to global aircraft emissions. The site will allow registered users to download and visualise worldwide emission grids based on WISDOM flight movement database.


ENVISA’s activities relevant to Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) include:

  • assessing the environmental impact of airspace reorganisations
  • designing, developing and validating multiple-scale noise and emission modelling tools (including weather and atmospheric modelling)
  • designing and developing flight movement and gate-to-gate trajectory databases
  • performing ATM market and cost-benefit analyses.

Below is a selection of our latest projects in relation to ANSPs' activities:

Advanced Emission Model – AEM (2004-2008)
