Hi all...
When I first heard an ATCO talk about FABs I have to say.. I thought of Thunderbirds.
I have the current vague understanding that FABs are a way of ignoring International Boundaries, for the sake of making flight movements more "smooth" and by extension the airspace more... well... functional.
Could anybody please cast a little more light on this for me? I hear eurocontrol counds as the first example closely followed by UK/IRE. Apparently one is coming in in Italy? Any information of possible locations would also be of great interest.
Thanks guys
P.S. A search of the forums flagged up this article:

I have also viewed the FABEC website here:
