Republic of Moldova has begun preparing its national aviation sector for gradual integration into the European air traffic management system following the publication of the Regulation implementing the Single European Sky in the Official Gazette, reports MOLDPRES news agency.
The adopted regulatory framework establishes responsibilities regarding the regulation, supervision, and provision of air traffic, communication, navigation, meteorological, and aeronautical information services, alongside traffic data management and digital services. According to the authorities, these measures will enable flight route optimization, enhance air connectivity, and ensure more efficient traffic flow management, contributing to the sustainable development of national civil aviation.
To allow the industry the necessary timeframe to adapt to technical and operational requirements, the document will enter into force on December 31, 2028. The Single European Sky initiative was launched in 1999 to reduce the fragmentation of continental airspace among member states, between civil and military domains, and across various technological platforms in use.
