Download PDFNEFAB Strategy Implementation Plan
The NEFAB Strategy adopted in November 2014 is long term and should be accompanied by a more detailed Implementation Plan to be reviewed regularly and as needed. The realisation of the NEFAB Strategy will be incremental – some elements are supposed to be implemented within a relatively short timeframe and others within a much longer timeframe, towards the end of the third reference period (2025). This first version of the NEFAB Strategy Implementation Plan was agreed in principle by the NEFAB Council in December 2016, but has only now been finalised with light editorial changes. The Implementation Plan highlights current activities and projects already completed, ongoing and/or planned and should serve as guide for further implementation of the NEFAB Strategy. The main actors to realise the NEFAB Strategy are the Air Navigation Service Providers and the National Supervisory Authorities (ANSPs and NSAs) although supported and encouraged by NEFAB states.
