PRESS RELEASE

Today (2 December 2021), NATS, the UK’s air navigation services provider, implemented the latest steps in the Borealis Alliance Free Route Airspace (FRA) Programme, and the first deployment of FRA in the UK. 

The Borealis Alliance is a pioneer in the implementation of a complete, truly cross-border, free route airspace (FRA) amongst the airspace managed by its nine members. Whilst full implementation has been slowed down by the COVID crisis and is now planned by end 2023, partial FRA implementation has already delivered very substantial benefits. 

The Borealis Alliance Board, consisting of leaders from nine European Air Navigation Service Providers have recently reaffirmed their intention to collaborate on future initiatives and reiterated their commitment to the original Alliance Vision “To be the leading ANSP Alliance that enables its members to drive better performance for stakeholders through business collaboration.” 

The Borealis Alliance wishes its partners, colleagues, and followers from around the world a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. 

Ann Persson Grivas, Director General of LFV, Air Navigation Services of Sweden, is the new Chairman of the board of the Borealis Alliance, and Anders Kirsebom, CEO of Avinor Air Navigation Services in Norway, is the new Vice-Chair of the Borealis Alliance.
