This is supposedly an initiative of Eurocontrol.

Dublin is most likely next to get Point Merge. There appears to be doubts evident about efficiency in a post Point Merge world; we are promised increased safety, increased efficiency and an overall better system by being an enabler to CDAs (from FL90?).

Does anyone have any 'real' data about this?

With the new procedures comes new airspace, all of which are 'in train' and probably hard to stop now for Dublin, yet is it all for naught?
