Avinor enters new ATM alliance as competition looms

Avinor has joined the Air Navigation Service Providers of Denmark (Naviair), Estonia (EANS), Finland (Finavia), Iceland (ISAVIA), Ireland (IAA), Latvia (LGS), the UK (NATS) and Sweden (LFV) in a landmark step in European air navigation. At the end of Mar-2011, the ANSP announced they agreed to start the process of defining a formal alliance to accelerate the benefits of closer harmonisation as Europe moves towards implementing Functional Airspace Blocks and the Single European Sky.
