ADVANCED LOGISTICS GROUP SAU

Their core work

ALG is a Barcelona-based transport consultancy specializing in Air Traffic Management (ATM) performance analysis, strategic planning, and deployment roadmaps within the Single European Sky framework. They contribute analytical and planning expertise to SESAR Joint Undertaking initiatives, helping evaluate current ATM operations and design future concepts of operations. Their work spans ATM performance trade-off analysis, master plan maintenance, and content integration for European airspace modernization programs.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

All four of ALG's H2020 projects started in 2016, making it difficult to identify a clear temporal evolution. Their participation spans two types of work: direct research into ATM performance assessment (INTUIT, APACHE) and strategic planning activities tied to SESAR deployment (PJ19, PJ20). The shift from funded participant roles to third-party contributions in the PJ-series projects may indicate a move toward advisory and supporting roles within larger SESAR program structures.

ALG appears positioned as a strategic planning and analysis contributor within the SESAR ecosystem, likely continuing to support European airspace modernization roadmaps rather than leading technical R&D.

How they like to work

ALG has never coordinated an H2020 project, participating twice as a partner and twice as a third party — suggesting they serve as a specialist contributor rather than a project driver. With 56 unique consortium partners across 22 countries, they operate within the large, multi-national SESAR consortia typical of European ATM research. This breadth of partnerships reflects the SESAR program structure rather than ALG's own network-building, so potential partners should expect them in a supporting analytical role.

ALG has worked alongside 56 partners across 22 countries, though this broad network is largely a function of the large SESAR consortia they joined rather than independent relationship-building. Their geographic reach spans most of Europe through these program-level collaborations.

What sets them apart

ALG brings a private-sector consulting perspective to ATM research, bridging the gap between operational analysis and strategic deployment planning within SESAR. Unlike research institutes or air navigation service providers, they offer independent analytical capacity for evaluating ATM performance trade-offs and maintaining deployment roadmaps. For consortium builders, ALG can fill the role of an experienced aviation consultancy with direct SESAR program involvement.

Highlights from their portfolio

• INTUIT
  Largest funded project (EUR 151,438) focused on building interactive tools for understanding trade-offs in ATM performance — their most substantial research contribution.
• PJ20 AMPLE
  Directly tied to maintaining the SESAR Master Plan and ICAO alignment, placing ALG at the strategic planning core of European airspace modernization.
