As a consequence, the number of interceptions in Europe has increased. A large part of them can be attributed to ComLoss situations.
An unnecessary interception is a disruption to the air traffic management (ATM) system and a waste of scarce national resources.
At EUROCONTROL, we work closely with our partners at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) to mitigate the negative impact of ComLoss on safety, security and finances for the military, civil aviation and airlines, including the pilot in command.
