FAB CE News
At the start of March 2019 the seven air navigation service providers (ANSPs) of FAB CE will finalise their common approach to meeting the requirements for Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) training required by European Commission Regulation 2017/373, the “Air Traffic Management Common Requirements Implementing Regulation” (ATM IR), which comes into effect on 2 January 2020.
On January 30-31, 18 representatives from Ministries of Transport, National Supervisory Authorities and Air Navigation Service Providers representing 6 FABs (BALTIC FAB, BLUE MED, DANUBE, DK-SW, FAB CE, FABEC) met in Roma Ciampino, Italy, for the “3rd Inter-FAB Performance Workshop”.
Annual traffic growth rates for FAB CE States between 2018 and 2017 have reached record numbers, according to figures from the Eurocontrol Performance Review Unit, well above the upper forecasts of the agency’s Statistics and Forecast Service, STATFOR. STATFOR forecasts are used to determine target performance levels for European air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and functional airspace blocks (FABs).
The number of reported safety incidents fell between 2013 and 2017 in FAB CE airspace, despite an increase in air transport movements of around 20% over the same period.
