Bulgaria and Romania Consider a Single Airspace Bloc



6 December | Those flying over, to and from Romania and Bulgaria may discover their flights have become faster, safer and more punctual in the near future. The two countries are considering the creation of a single functional bloc of airspace, which will facilitate air traffic over the two countries.
The possibility for the creation of such a space is currently being evaluated by a consultant company and the analysis results will be clear by the end of the year, the Bulgarian National Radio Reported.

A single airspace bloc, which would be called Danube in this case, means that neighbouring countries agree to control their respective airspace collectively in order to provide optimal routes, without a regard for state boundaries.

The Danube airspace bloc would be part of the Single European Sky initiative, which aims to increase the safety levels of air traffic management, to unite and harmonise European airspace and to decrease delays through an increased traffic capacity.
