On June 8th Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services SMATSA hosted meeting in Belgrade with partners of Southeast Europe Common Sky Initiativie (SECSI) – AustroControl, Slovenia Control, CroControl, BHANSA, Albcontrol and M-NAV discussing further expansion of Free Route Airspace with Italy and Hungary/Romania/Bulgaria and beyond.

SECSI Partners confirmed unity and determination to continuous improvement of flight planning opportunities for their customer – aircraft operators. Shorter flight plan distances reduce fuel burn lowering cost and CO2 emissions contributing to Europe’s ambitious plan to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. SECSI partners continue to mitigate negative impact of more complicated traffic flows in order to keep safety record in line with key performance indicators defined with national and EU regulation.
