A highly skilled workforce is responsible for providing safe air traffic services. Qualified staff operate and maintain a supporting infrastructure of communications, navigations and surveillance equipment and advanced automation systems. The combination of human knowledge and experience with sophisticated software and advanced technology ensures the industry benefits from safe, reliable and efficient air traffic control.
FABEC manages some of Europe’s busiest airspace, handling flights between the continent’s five largest airports. In addition to maintaining safe separation, air traffic controllers provide fuel-efficient routes wherever possible. They access advanced support tools and increasingly take advantage of machine learning techniques to optimise decision-making.
