And now, together with Oro Navigacija – our Parnter in the Baltic FAB, we jointly invite you to the debate “A FAB approach to SESAR – achieving genuine FAB participation in SESAR projects”, which begins at 14:30 in the DANUBE FAB booth no. 270. Baltic FAB will be represented by Mr. Maciej Rodak, PANSA Board Representative.

Up to this point, FABs have been largely independent of SESAR development and deployment. Focus has been instead on the swift, synchronised uptake of each Member State individually. However, some deployments collaboration is evident through industrial partnerships, but not yet at FAB or interFAB level.
Looking forward, with the impending deadlines of the Pilot Common Project, it is believed that the intangible benefits of the FAB initiative provides the foundation for FAB level implementation of SESAR, potentially bringing benefits such as: swift implementation, mutual cooperation, cost savings, resource sharing and ultimately greater levels of interdependency. Given the operational challenges forecast for the next 5 years, these improvements could prove vital in providing the required capacity and fulfilling Member States’ commitments to SESAR.
High-level representatives of the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport’s Aviation Directorate, SESAR Deployment Manager and the FABs will be questioning both why this has not been the case so far, and whether there will be benefits to this approach in the future.
