EUROCONTROL, the European organisation for safety in air navigation, has a pan-European scope as an intergovernmental organisation with 41 Member States, ensuring a uniform approach to safety in air traffic management as aircraft move across the airspace of its Member States.

Last month EUROCONTROL’s Director General Frank Brenner informed the European Parliament that expanded safety and risk information is now available at all hours to aviation professionals.

In his intervention at the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign affairs (AFET) and the Subcommittee on Security and Defence (SEDE), on 24 March,

He explained that EUROCONTROL, the European Organisation for Safety in Air Navigation has a pan-European scope as an intergovernmental organisation with forty-one Member States, ensuring a uniform approach to safety in Air Traffic Management as aircraft move across the airspace of its Member States.
