The German Federal Supervisory Authority for Air Navigation Services (BAF) approved the use of EGNOS on 15 December 2011. This followed the signing of the agreement between DFS and ESSP SAS, the Toulouse-based provider of EGNOS, on 9 December 2011. ESSP had officially declared the start of EGNOS safety-of-life services on 2 March 2011.
The advantage of EGNOS is that the airport does not need additional navigation aids and thus is a cost-efficient alternative for smaller airports that would like to enable approach procedures down to 250 ft minima.
