DANUBE FAB receives the visit of DG MOVE Director General Henrik Hololei

DANUBE FAB partner ANSPs BULATSA and ROMATSA demonstrated the practical benefits of their cooperation through jointly exhibiting at the World ATM Congress 2017 in Madrid.

Henrick Hololei, Director General of DG MOVE at the European Commission, and Massimo Garbini, Managing Director of the SESAR Deployment Manager, expressed their interest to gain a more comprehensive insight into DANUBE FAB’s achievements and dedicated a special visit to the DANUBE FAB stand on 7th March 2017. The DANUBE FAB team provided a showcase on the DANUBE FAB’s major accomplishments, including the Cross-Border Sectors establishment, Free Routes Implementation and active role in Inter-FAB cooperation.

The next milestone is the completion of the trilateral FRA implementation– the cross-border Night FRA project between Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria which will be operational starting with 30th March 2017 thus bridging the airspace between the two FABs of FAB CE and DANUBE FAB and allowing airspace users complete freedom to plan routes throughout the combined airspace of the three nations at night, paving the way for future expansion.
