Eurocontrol

Eurocontrol reform is in underway at the moment.

This is part of single European Sky work and is driven by the EU. This is fact and has been the case for more than a year and is actively exercising the minds of European ANSP execs as we speak.

Eurocontrol will be a network operator, and will operate the flow management unit, Route charges and so called "network management" (kind of ATFM on steroids) No Training and no ATC operations.

Maastricht centre will almost certainly go back to the states from which it came (Germany, netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) but under the FAB - FABEC. All this in negotiation at the moment.

And the training centre will close.

Other training facilities in Europe also up for review (similar issues to NATS relocation of CATC) Expect consolidation of ANSP owned training in Europe and emergence of broader private academies doing ATC + + other viable education.
