This document summarizes a presentation given by Philippe Merlo from EUROCONTROL on air traffic management interoperability and master planning in Latin America. The presentation discusses: 1) EUROCONTROL's role in air traffic management expertise, including master planning, research and development, and supporting regulation. 2) Quick wins that Latin American countries can achieve based on the ICAO global air navigation plan, such as increased runway throughput through dynamic wake turbulence separation and improved airport operations through airport collaborative decision making. 3) How systems like SWIM, digital aeronautical information management, and initial trajectory-based operations can enhance performance.
