The North European Functional Airspace Block, NEFAB, has introduced Free Route Airspace, allowing operators to plan and take their preferred trajectories in Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Norway.

The NEFAB Free Route Airspace is connecting to the existing Free Route Airspace over Sweden and Denmark using common concept flight planning rules. Airspace users are now able to plan and execute their preferred trajectories more cost efficiently, taking into account a range of different factors, such as weather systems, prevailing winds, shortest routes and military activities across the two functional airspace blocks - or six States.

The changes implemented today are a major stepping stone towards the Borealis Free Route Airspace vision, a programme to deliver continuous Free Route Airspace across nine States in Northern Europe by 2021.
