Danish ATM consultancy providing specialist expertise to SESAR projects on controller tools, trajectory management, and U-space integration.
Integra Consult is a Danish SME specializing in air traffic management (ATM) consulting, providing expert services to Europe's SESAR programme — the continent's flagship initiative to modernize airspace. They contribute domain knowledge across controller tools, trajectory management, airport operations, and human-machine interfaces. Their early work included a drone services venture (INAS project), but their sustained focus is on helping SESAR consortia design and validate next-generation ATM systems, typically as a third-party expert embedded in large research partnerships.
Participated as third-party expert in 10 SESAR projects spanning arrivals/departures (PJ01 EAD), separation management (PJ10 PROSA), and trajectory management (PJ18 4D Skyways).
Contributed to PJ16 CWP HMI (controller working position), PJ10 PROSA and PJ10-W2 (separation management and controller tools), and PJ05-W2 DTT (digital tower HMI).
Active in PJ18-W2 4D Skyways (trajectory-based operations, conflict detection) and PJ07-W2 OAUO (optimised airspace user operations with business trajectory planning).
Contributed to PJ03b SAFE (airport safety nets) and PJ28 IAO (integrated airport operations including departure management and surface routing).
Coordinated INAS (drone service provider, 2015) and later joined PJ34-W3 AURA (ATM/U-space interface, 2021), signalling growing focus on unmanned traffic integration.
In the early period (2015–2019), Integra focused on core airport and en-route ATM challenges: arrivals and departures, airport safety nets, integrated airport operations, and controller working positions. From 2019 onward, their work shifted toward more advanced concepts — trajectory-based operations (TBO), remote tower centres, separation management automation, and U-space/ATM integration. This evolution mirrors the SESAR programme's own progression from foundational research (Wave 1) to demonstration and integration (Wave 2/3).
Integra is moving toward the intersection of manned and unmanned air traffic management, positioning them well for the growing European U-space and urban air mobility domain.
Integra operates almost exclusively as a third-party expert — 10 of their 11 projects are in this role, meaning they are brought in by consortium members for specialized ATM domain knowledge rather than leading or formally partnering. Their single coordinated project (INAS) was a small SME Phase 1 feasibility study. Despite the third-party status, they have touched 100 unique partners across 27 countries, indicating they are a trusted specialist repeatedly called upon by major SESAR players like Eurocontrol, ENAV, DFS, and national ANSPs.
Through SESAR's large consortia, Integra has collaborated with 100 unique partners across 27 countries — effectively spanning the entire European ATM community. Their network is broad but indirect, built through third-party engagements rather than direct consortium membership.
Integra occupies a niche as a lightweight, specialized ATM consultancy that can plug into large SESAR consortia without the overhead of a full consortium partner. Their consistent presence across both Wave 1 and Wave 2/3 SESAR projects — covering controller tools, trajectory management, airport operations, and U-space — gives them unusually broad cross-functional ATM expertise for a small company. For consortium builders, they offer deep SESAR domain knowledge with the flexibility and cost-efficiency of an SME subcontractor.
