Abstract

This paper proposes a business model typology based on factor analysis of mixed data sourced from the 2016 Air Traffic Management Cost Effectiveness (ACE) benchmarking report, European air navigation service provider (ANSP) websites and annual reports. It provides ANSP management insight into the key strategic business model decisions to be made, their resulting models as well as how these business model decisions contribute to ATM/CNS profits. The findings suggest that ANSPs can benefit from increasing both their level of corporatisation as level of outsourcing. The paper can be used by ANSP managers to position themselves within the European air navigation services (ANS) landscape and as a discussion starter for future business model developments; or by ANS customers to better understand the strategic objectives of the ANSPs.
