The article presents selected problems in the scope of shaping air traffic in airspace. The essence of airspace management is a systemic approach to air traffic, aircraft fleet, airports, and ground and airborne navigation devices and systems, along with the appropriate organization of controlled airport areas.

This development also depends on the effective implementation of major programs such as GALILEO (satellite radionavigation) or ITER (nuclear fusion). Therefore, there is a need to introduce changes that take into account a new approach to managing European airspace.In European airspace in 2010, over 10 million flights were performed, an average of approx. 30 thousand flights per day. Furthermore, we are observing a varied increase in air traffic intensity; it is increasing in relatively poorly connected regions, including Poland and the Balkans. (…)
