SITTI helps moving APP to ACC
ENAV, the Italian Air Navigation Service Provider, is aiming at moving the approach (APP) function from the towers to the ACCs managing the relevant areas. This will make coordination between ACC and APP easier and more straightforward, and it will be releasing resources at the airport towers, that have been responsible for this service till now. The move of the APP function to the ACC premises requires coordination with the towers involved, in such a way that communications with towers are guaranteed even in case of failure of the Voice Communication System of the ACC.
EUROCONTROL Data Snapshot on the state of CO2 emissions in 2021
In January, we reviewed CO₂ emissions from European flights in 2020 compared to 2019. Now, following this summer’s strong traffic recovery, we come back to the subject, comparing the first eight months of 2021 with the same period in 2019. Restrictions on short-haul and long-haul travel have continued from 2020 into 2021 but, mostly for short-haul, this summer there has been some significant relaxation. Following global standards, all CO₂ emissions from a flight are assigned to the country of departure, so here we report just on departing flights: there were 52.
