European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation
EUROCONTROL, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, is an intergovernmental organisation made up of 39 Member States and the European Community.
Our primary objective is the development of a seamless, pan-European air traffic management (ATM) system. We contribute to making European aviation safer, performance-driven and environmentally sustainable.
EUROCONTROL was originally founded in 1960 as a civil-military organisation to deal with air traffic control for civil and military users in the upper airspace of its six founding European Member States. EUROCONTROL has developed into a vital European repository of ATM excellence, both leading and supporting ATM improvements across Europe.
Today, together with its partners, EUROCONTROL is committed to building a Single European Sky that will deliver the ATM performance required for the twenty-first century and beyond.EUROCONTROL - News - 09/07/2010
EUROCONTROL selected to represent Luxembourg in European Business AwardsEUROCONTROL’s Institute of Air Navigation Services has been selected as one of ten Country Representatives for Luxembourg in the prestigious 2010 European Business Awards, sponsored by HSBC.
It will now compete for a coveted Ruban d’Honneur in the next round of the competition. Final category Award winners will be unveiled in Paris on 16th November.
Now in its fourth successful year, the European Business Awards has identified some of Europe’s brightest businesses based on their ability to demonstrate the three core principles at the heart of the Awards programme – innovation, business excellence and sustainability.
Alex Skoniezki, the Head of the Institute, commented:
“We are delighted at this recognition of the expertise and commitment of our staff and of the efforts we have made in continuing to provide a high standard of training even with a reduced budget. We have achieved this, in part, by making courses available to our customers at a location and in a form that suits them. ATM is starting to go through a period of very rapid change and effective training is a vital element of delivering the Single European Sky.”
The European Business Awards are dedicated to raising the visibility and progress of companies who excel in delivering innovation twinned with successful commercial results, whilst acting responsibly and positively affecting the social environment in which they operate. In 2009, the 99 Ruban d’Honneur recipients had a combined turnover greater than €570 billion and recorded an average annual profit growth of 56%.
