Eurocontrol has demonstrated the technical and operational benefits of a new ATC decision aid known as medium-term conflict detection (MTCD), which could also provide cost-efficiency and environmental benefits to boot.

It then notifies the planning controller of any pair of aircraft on conflicting flight paths.
