The Minister of State with responsibility for aviation has said it is unfortunate that there is a degree of protectionsim by some EU member states about holding all control over their skies.
Jack Chambers said if we want to see the Single European Market as well as efficiencies and sustainability in aviation thrive, there should be further progress in the Single European Sky initiative.
"And they should be protected. But that's something that Member States control, so it's difficult for the European Union to resolve very quickly." It also manages 455,000 square kilometres of airspace, including 90% of all aircraft flying between Europe and North America, which is controlled from the North Atlantic Enroute Centre in Shannon and its North Atlantic Communications Centre in Clare.
The company aims to recruit and train 240 new air traffic control students over the next decade to cope with an expected 30% jump in air traffic between now and the end of the decade."
