Abstract	The SuperSector by R. Graham et al. (2002) project falls within the scope of research based on the hypothesis that the current proliferation of controlled sectors had led to a too rigid use of airspace to face with medium to long-term traffic growth. SuperSector suggests a shift of paradigm from sector-division to sector-regrouping, i.e. instead of subdividing sectors to accommodate traffic growth, SuperSector investigates a new control organization and practices from which traffic in large volume of airspace can be managed by teams of controllers with responsibilities no more restricted to sector-planning and radar-control but span from real-time traffic flow organization to conflict solving. In this way, it is expected that SuperSector can help filling the gap between long-term predictive issues of central flow management, and short-term adaptive issues of radar-control, and thus moving from an asynchronous air traffic management system to a synchronous one, from a sector-control working methods to a network and flow management one, from conflict-based control to a time-based control one. In this paper, we present the results obtained so far with SuperSector: a novel working organization based on a layered-planning mechanism and contract of services in order to perform medium-term anticipation linking the long-term predictive part of traffic flow capacity management and the short-term adaptive part of the air traffic control actions. The time-based approach and collaborative decision making mechanism associated to the contract are developed. Impacts on airspace design, flow planning and regulation, and tools are also discussed.
