eurocontrol institute of air navigation services

Its activities involve all gate-to-gate air navigation service operations: strategic and tactical flow management, controller training, regional control of airspace, safety-proofed technologies and procedures, and collection of air navigation charges.

The organisation works with national authorities, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, and other organisations. It also underlines that the focus of our portfolio has become much broader than purely air traffic management/air navigation services training according to our initial concept as the EUROCONTROL Institute of Air Navigation Services. The EU itself is a signatory of Eurocontrol and all EU member states are presently also members of Eurocontrol. Our new name emphasises our ambition to play a central role in EUROCONTROL’s strategy to support European aviation as a state-of-the-art, multi-channel learning centre, providing services to organisations in Member States and across the world. The Director General in 2018, Eamonn Brennan, attended the Bilderberg meeting that year.Īlthough Eurocontrol is not an agency of the European Union, the EU has delegated parts of its Single European Sky regulations to Eurocontrol, making it the central organisation for coordination and planning of air traffic control for all of Europe. The organisation employs approximately two thousand people, and operates with an annual budget in excess of half a billion Euro. It has several local sites as well, including R&D activities in Brétigny-sur-Orge, France, the Institute of Air Navigation Training (IANS) in Luxembourg, and the Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Founded in 1960, Eurocontrol currently has 41 member states and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, commonly known as Eurocontrol (stylized EUROCONTROL), is an international organisation working to achieve safe and seamless air traffic management across Europe.
