By the end of 2024, around 75 ACCs have either fully or partially implemented free route airspace operations. There is an increasing trend for ACCs to conduct cross border operations and to lower the base level of FRA to the maximum extent possible. Full operations European wide are expected by 2029.
Although FRA is a major focus in Europe, its implementation is not limited to this region. Free Route Airspace is being adopted in various parts of the world, reflecting a global shift towards more efficient and sustainable air traffic management. A map showing the worldwide status of FRA implementation in 2025 is provided for reference.
