Croatian airspace simulation starts in Budapest

Being the most significant research, development and simulation center of its kind in Central Europe CRDS represents the latest technology and provides skilled expertise for the implementation of the SES initiatives.

The key objective of the Croatian simulation project run at HungaroControls CRDS in Budapest is to validate new geographical sector configurations to be implemented by 2013 in the Croatian airspace.
