ENAIRE successfully coordinates Europe’s first long-distance stratospheric flight operation in the Canary Islands

ENAIRE, Spain’s national air navigation service provider, and the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA) have made possible the first high-altitude, long-range stratospheric flight of a HAPS (High Altitude Platform System) platform in Europe. The operation was successfully carried out last December at the stratoport of the Fuerteventura Technology Park, located within Canary Islands airspace, which is managed by ENAIRE’s Control Centre in the Archipelago.
