FAB CE News

Air navigation service providers of the FAB CE airspace alliance and the Network Manager have released forecast traffic demand for the FAB CE area over the Christmas and New Year period.

“At first sight it looked almost like a full recovery – but when you examine the figures more closely you can start to see that there are very different patterns of traffic now driving the market.”  Matej Eljon, FAB CE Programme Manager and Director of FAB CE Aviation Ltd was one of the expert panellists at the World ATM Congress in Madrid in late October, on an Inter-FAB panel discussing experiences of market fluctuations at an ATC centre level.

ANSPs Albcontrol (Albania) and M-NAV (Republic of North Macedonia) will join the Southeast Europe Common Sky Initiative (SECSI) Free Route Airspace (FRA) (SECSI FRA) programme from December 2, 2021.

FAB CE partner air navigation service provider (ANSP) representatives will be attending the 2021 World ATM Congress, taking place on 26-28 October in the IFEMA Feria de Madrid, Spain.

In September 2021 FAB CE representatives met with the Eurocontrol Network Manager to finalize the plan for further implementation of free route airspace (FRA) in the FAB CE area.

FAB CE States are reporting faster-than-forecast airline traffic recovery levels but the recovery is characterised by two very different trends.
