Austro Control and Croatia Control implement Automated Transfer Procedures within the COOPANS system

With the newly implemented procedures, the transfer status of aircraft is clearly visible to the air traffic controller and additional information (e.g. speed instructions, releases,…) may be transferred automatically from one ATS-unit to the other.

This innovative approach will raise the situational awareness of ATCOs during the handover between ATS-units. The new procedures will result in a reduction of verbal coordination and support the harmonization of cross-border procedures.
