Abstract

Purpose/Purpose Statement: The purpose of the study is to understand and explore how a stakeholder engagement process provides Dublin ATC with a platform to collaborate with stakeholders, working towards the delivery on its commitments under the SESAR JU framework. The research study objectives are; To test the existing models of stakeholder engagement within the specific context of air traffic management. To explore the factors which impact on stakeholder engagement from a multi stakeholder perspective. To propose a revised conceptual model based on the findings of the research which better explains stakeholder engagement with the complex environment of air traffic management.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative study was undertaken using a monomethod with interviews of a semi structured nature, mainly online (Microsoft, TEAMs) and one face to face due COVID-19 social restrictions. Sampling was of a purposive nature using five senior managers with excess of 20 years’ experience using thematic methods to analyse the data.

Applicability: This study has practical implications at an organisational, European and International level to address capacity and environmental constraints in air traffic management.

Originality/Value: This study extends the work of Sequeira and Warner (2007) and Jeffery (2009) and expands and develops the area of a stakeholder engagement process in air traffic management (ATM). This research study has enhanced and developed a robust framework fit for the purpose of providing a platform to collaborate with stakeholders working towards the delivery of Dublin Air Traffic Controls commitments to SESAR JU in ATM.
