FAB CE air navigation service providers (ANSPs) took part in the InterFAB research workshop Single European Sky and Resilience in ATM in Sofia, Bulgaria, in September. Organised by Danube FAB, Functional Airspace Block Europe Central (FABEC) and the German Aviation Research Society (GARS), the workshop brought together senior academics, high-level industry experts and regulators to exchange views on how to manage increasing uncertainty in air traffic management.

For FAB CE air navigation service providers (ANSPs) the last few days of November and the first few days of December 2022 are forecast to mark an important milestone: the first time that 2022 FABCE traffic levels collectively are likely to surpass flight numbers recorded in 2019, with the prospect of them remaining higher thereafter.

Technical experts from FAB CE air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and partner ATM organisations met in Prague on 5 October 2022 to discuss challenges and solutions to meeting the December 2025 deadline for implementing system wide implementation management (SWIM).

Members of the FAB CE CEO Committee meeting on 14 June 2022 have endorsed the FAB CE Airspace Plan 2022, developed to implement the concepts of the European Airspace Architecture Study (EAAS) in the domains of airspace and capacity.
