Demand forecast of air traffic in Japan
¾ International flight and flying-over
                           flying over are increased
                                           increased. Domestic flight is dependent on the case of GDPGDP.
¾ Even if GDP is estimated low, the number of aircrafts will exceed the limit of air traffic control capacity around 2025.
¾ The demand may go up rather than this forecast by further promotion of inbound tourism and the growth of LCC.

• Realizing CDO (continuous descent operations) which specifies the passage time and the passage
  altitude of a specific point and enables continuous descent without temporary level flight in descent
  and approach phase.
• Reduction of fuel consumption, CO2 emission and noise are expected.

 ¾CDO is defined as the following three stages by procedures of operation.
 • Initial stage CDO by radio communication (This is introduced at Kansai airport)
 • 2nd stage      CDO realized by the uplink of a 3D trajectory from the ATC system
                  (This is applied in limited time zone because it is difficult to apply in the congestion time.)
 • 3rdd stage     CDO realized by the uplink of a 4Dtrajectory which indicate time
                  (This is applied in all the situations including the congestion time and congested airport. )
