EUROCONTROL Network Manager Operational Free Route Airspace Workshop

When

29 - 30 October 2024

09:00 - 15:00

On 29 - 30 October 2024, we are organising the EUROCONTROL Network Manager Operational Free Route Airspace Workshop.

The workshop will take place in the EUROPA meeting room at EUROCONTROL Headquarters, in Brussels.

The objectives of the workshop are to:

review experience with current implementation and consider possible developments in accordance with the Free Route Airspace (FRA) concept.
further develop:
- practical solutions to facilitate data and information management;
- proper systems for FRA processing/computation.
discuss future systems requirements and evolutions.
