Yep, it is quite bad watching the whole Galileo drama unfold and eating up our tax money. Even the now open EGNOS thing cannot provide the same service as it can in the US.

Approaches based on EGNOS down to CAT I limit won't happen in europe for the time being, a ground based augmentation is needed for that. And those while still a lot cheaper than a full ILS do cost money. Therefore we only have a couple of those at the moment and all of them are test installations. At the moment i'm aware of three installations in europe, but there can be more outside our current route network which i'm not aware of.
