In 2024 we would like to continue our series of our InterFAB research workshops in Zagreb! Therefore, FAB CE and FABEC are welcoming proposals from academics, scientists and industry experts to submit their papers. We have teamed up with University of Zagreb and the German Aviation Research Society to have the forum focused on predictability and flexibility as central aspects for the quality of the operational service provided to civil and military airspace users. The workshop is scheduled to be held on 18/19 April 2024 in Zagreb/Croatia.
The FABEC ANSPs have successfully conducted the 2022/2023 Customer Satisfaction Survey and would like to thank all participants for their contributions.
As a next step, the FABEC ANSPs invited the airlines and CFSPs to discuss the conclusions in more detail with a focus on the following derived issues: RAD restrictions within FABEC; tools/portals of FABEC ANSPs at NM level; flight planning with special focus on CFSPs; CDO/CCO operations within FABEC; and communication.
The meeting took place 16th of May at Geneva Airport.
The invitation, agenda and all presentations are available below:
The Director Generals for Civil Aviation of the six States reconfirmed the importance of FABEC and the objective to work towards to an operationally seamless airspace.
Gain an insight into one of our control centers! Skyguide’s Pierre-Etienne Lévêque, Head of ACC West / Geneva, talks about the challenges he’s currently facing.
The first and foremost strategic objective of all FABEC partners is to ensure that flying is safe. However, they are also committed to improving the efficiency and performance of their airspace and to reducing the environmental impact of aviation, i.e. by keeping delays to a minimum or optimising flight profiles. Our data snapshots show the FABEC performance in 2022 – such as last year’s horizontal flight efficiency.
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.
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.
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.
The airspace of the six FABEC States of Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland is one of the busiest and most complex in the world.
The majority of major European airports, major civil airways and military training areas are located in this area. FABEC airspace covers 1.7 million km
