From 1 March 2018 FAB CE has a new look, a new website, a new newsletter and a range of new ways of presenting our plans, challenges and achievements to our stakeholders. We have a new logo which reflects the more integrated approach of the seven Member States to providing Single European Sky benefits to our airspace users. Come visit FAB CE at the World ATM Congress in Madrid!
FAB CE controllers safely handled 2,153,000 flights in 2017, an increase in 4.5% over the previous year, according to the most recent figures from Eurocontrol.
In January 2018 FAB CE technical experts released their interim report into the introduction of Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) procedures to handle peak time traffic loads with reduced delays.
In just less than a year after signing the memorandum of cooperation aimed towards merging the two Free Route Airspaces SAXFRA (Slovenian Austrian Cross-border Free Route Airspace) and SEAFRA (South-East Axis Free Route Airspace - project of three ANSPs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro) the South East Common Sky Initiative Free Route Airspace (SECSI FRA) has successfully been implemented, with the support of the Network Manager.
FAB CE will focus on streaming projects to give stakeholders more time to move further and faster on activities such as common procurement and airspace consolidation, said Jan Klas, chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ANS CR in his opening remarks to the Prague FAB CE Social Dialogue meeting in December.
In November 2017 SESAR Deployment Alliance signed an agreement with the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) – which manages the technical and financial implementation of the European Commission’s TEN-T programme – to fund a study into the implementation of Dynamic Airspace Management (DAM) and short-term air traffic management measures (STAMs) throughout the FABCE area.
