Introduction
During the last years, numerous stakeholders, ATM experts and planners have approched the Civil Military ATM
Coordination Division to ask for an update of the Military Statistics brochure. The information provided in this publication has been found valuable by those involved in R&D activities, i.e. SESAR. It has also been used as a reference
when carrying out studies related to the military fleet, like CBA, avionics, impact assessments, etc.
The current version based on 2010 figures available from open and EUROCONTROL sources will be an on-line only
publication, more interactive with users and will be updated when needed, not just on yearly basis. Feed back from
readers and users is most welcome in order to improve new editions of these statistics.

It is expected that this section dealing with OAT flights will get more attention in the future. For the time being the
data available is limited. The only rough conclusion at the present moment is that military flying splits aproximately:
GAT
20%
OAT
80%
This figures must be further consolidated as more data is received from Member States.
