Examples of GeographicDANUBE FAB Projects:

FABs are trying to answer thequestion:

“What can I do with my neighbour?”

Neighbouring states already sharemany interests through geographicalproximity, eg:

The most tangible internal projects todate within DANUBE FAB havecapitalised on this basic question.

Cross Border Sectors EstablishmentOverview

3 May 2016 3Inter-FAB OPS Workshop / DFS HQ, Langen

Airspace is usually arranged according to nationalboundaries, with one ANSP operating exclusivelywithin each State’s territory

These politically defined borders aregeographically complex and do not take intoaccount air traffic flows, potentially causinginefficiencies in flight routes

Cross-border Sectors (CBS) offer a solution to thisproblem, by redrawing airspace boundaries basedon operational needs of the air traffic, rather thanfollowing the contours of a national border

Based on operational needs, a dedicated TaskForce analysed the common geographicalinterface for any inconsistencies that wouldrequire implementation of CBS and, though nomajor issues were found, areas for improvementwere identified

The Task Force has worked to define thegeographical boundaries of the CBS, taking intoaccount the operational aspects and routenetwork improvements

Overview of implementationLegal basis & institutional arrangements

EU Level

Commission Regulation (EU) No 677/2011 [Annex 1, Part C,paragraph 1 (j)]

DANUBE FAB Level:

Article 20 of the “Agreement of the Establishment of the DANUBEFunctional Airspace Block between Romania and the Republic ofBulgaria”

DANUBE FAB Governing Council Decision

Written agreement on the establishment of the cross-bordersectors at ANSP level


State level Liability

- The national legislation applicable in the CBS airspace shall be territorial

Civil-Military Coordination- Civil-military coordination is a sovereign responsibility- LoA at AMC level established.

ANSPs level Insurance

- All necessary steps taken to ensure that ANSPs insurance policies provideadequate coverage for service provision within CBS.

AIS- Mechanisms were developed to ensure consistency across data from each

ANSP’s Aeronautical Information.

Technical- COM & SUR provided cross-border as per the Joint Designation Act.- SLAs for the use of CNS means designed and implemented.

Search and Rescue- SAR to be provided by the host state.

Overview of implementationDetailed schedule


CBSs agreed by ROMATSA and BULATSA on the basis of the FTS

CBS boundaries adjusted to traffic flows and operational requirements

Services provided considering available FAB facilities and resources

Airspace structures accommodates all types of air activities and trafficdemand at required levels of service

Airspace structures designated to accommodate to the maximumpossible extent all civil & military activities

ATS (including alerting services), COM and SUR within CBS airspace aredelegated in accordance with JDA concluded between the States

NAV, MET and AIS services in the CBS airspace are provided by the ANSPof the host State using the available resources

Service provision within the G class airspace and SAR are done by thehost State on its own expense

The charging zones of the Republic of Bulgaria and of Romania were amended along the agreed CBS airspace coordinatesfor a period of 5 years starting 1st January 2015

En-route charges applied forall flights operating in SOFIA

BenefitsContribution to reducing ATM costs & daily savings


Traffic data source: Demand Data Repository DDR2 /Filtered traffic - developed by EUROCONTROL/ NetworkManager. Type of traffic: Initial traffic (according to FPLs) during 2015 Assessment tool: SAAM (System for Air Traffic Assignment

and Analysis at Macroscopic Level) Methodology: Scenario economy estimations obtained

using the dedicated SAAM functionality.
