Eurocontrol’s five millionth flight
Early in May EUROCONTROL’s Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) controlled its five millionth flight – KLM 577 from Amsterdam to Abuja, Nigeria – with its trajectory-based flight data processing system (FDPS), introduced in December 2008. The crew were informed of this milestone in the use of MUAC’s state-of-the-art technology which allows it to control over 5000 flights on a busy
day.
