Workshop3rd FABEC Vertical Flight Efficiency (VFE) Expert Workshop7 December 2022 / Nice Airport
Registration is open for the 3rd Vertical Flight Efficiency (VFE) Expert Workshop to be held on the 7th December, 2022 at Nice Airport. The event focusses on the development of concrete plans for more efficient flight operations. We look forward to announcing our detailed agenda of speakers and to seeing you in Nice!
Research WorkshopSingle European Sky and Resilience in ATM15-16 September 2022
DANUBE FAB and FABEC hosted a research workshop entitled “Single European Sky and Resilience in ATM” on 15-16 September 2022 in Sofia/Bulgaria. Take a look at all the presentations being held there:
Fast factsCauses of CODA delay
CODA delay comes down to a measurement of how punctual a flight is. On time arrival = happy customers! But it's not always so clear cut as to what causes a flight to not be on time. The statistics shown are quite interesting and to help clarify this topic. Many factors are involved and many organisations will work together to improve.
VIRTUAL WORKSHOPOperationalising Contrail Avoidance
On 7 September Niels Lokman, COO MUAC, will be part of a workshop organised by NASA Langley Research Center and the Center for Air Transportation Systems Research at George Mason University (GMU). Among speakers from FAA, Boeing Jeppesen and NASA he will give an insight into MUAC’s “Operational Experience with Contrail Avoidance”. It’s not too late to register!
DATA CENTRE
Having a look at ATC delay during the first half of this year, it's great to report that more than 95% of flights departed with less than a 15-minute ATC delay.

Fast Facts Library
Our Data Cockpit gives you easy access to many different types of data from the ATC world. Year-to-date and monthly views of movement figures, delay performance and flight efficiency are frequently updated and allow you to compare developments and evaluate traffic, delay and environmental patterns. We will continue to expand the topics included over time.
ENABLING AVIATION
Innovation is key for a dynamic industry such as aviation.
Thus, the interactive map gives an overview of ongoing or planned projects contributing to the FABEC performances targets. It lists local or multilateral projects of the FABEC partners deemed relevant to the FABEC achievement.
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Research WorkshopClimate Change Documentation of Research Workshop in Vilnius available
In October about hundred experts from all over Europe gathered in Vilnius to provide their insights on this very important, but also extremely complex issue of climate change in aviation. Having in mind the outstanding contributions and discussion a documentation has been compiled aiming to share the results of the workshop.

EU - US Benchmark
Accepting diversity
For decades, attempts have been made to compare American and European air traffic control - without success, as the two organisations are too different. It's like apples and pears - both taste good but are different.
