Abstract
The aim of this article is to assess the impact of two priority programmes implemented by the EU in the area of air transport on the security and defence of EU Member States. The two programmes under considerations include: the legislative programme on the Single European Sky (SES) and the programme of the technical modernization of the European air traffic management system (SESAR). The above programmes do not directly apply to the military air transport and yet a variety of legal provisions and operational and technical solutions created in the course of their development indirectly influence the activities of military aviation and other military users of the European airspace. The paper examines the relationship between legal standards from the scope of the SES and military activities in EU Member States. It highlights the need for cooperation of civil aviation authorities with relevant military authorities (at the political, operating and technical level). It also notes the possible benefits of this cooperation for both parties.
