1st Stakeholders Workshop
The FAB Central Europe 1st Stakeholders Workshop was held in Prague, at Czech ANS Jenec IATCC premises, on 5 March 2008. The Workshop was attended by over 50 participants, including FAB CE States representatives, CAAs, NSAs, Military ATM, ANSPs, IATA and several Staff representatives. This wide audience was presented with the status and expected concepts related to FAB CE implementation.
Following Presentations were given:
- Background
- Master Plan
- CBA
- IATA
- Operations
- Systems
- Human
Main Conclusions of the Workshop:
- As emphasized by IATA and by other contributors, the time has come to go ahead: FAB must be implemented, without delay.
- The Master Plan provides the conclusion that FAB CE is feasible and provides a roadmap and key milestones for the implementation.
- The Cost Benefit Analysis has shown that the Static AoR Scenario is beneficial. The Dynamic AoR Scenario brings additional benefits on the condition that it is implemented as from 2021, and on the basis of business decisions. The meeting concluded also that more benefits may be achieved than the ones addressed in the CBA.
- The early stages of development of FAB CE should equally focus on staff involvement, through social dialogue. Some existing models for social dialogue should be examined.
