Interoperability across countries and systems will be achieved through standards for technology, staff and training, she added.
This lady knows what she is talking about. The word interoperability has a specific meaning amongst equipment manufacturers and ATC providers.It is not just compatibile with it's neighbour it is actually capable of replicating everything that can be done in the other centre.
It is quite feesible that major centres working on the same equipment could shift sectors between centres at certain times of the day. For instance how many Centres have to staff up to the maximum for the North Atlantic day and night flows ? There is only one flow but it moves between every centre over a few days. Each centre has to staff up for the maximum traffic........... just have a few minutes thinking of how you might do it if you were either paying the bills or interested in making a bigger profit
