New leadership for the FABEC CEO board

The leadership of the FABEC CEO board has been changed at the turn of the year. Michiel van Dorst, CEO of LVNL, has taken over the position of chairman held by Johan Decuyper, CEO of Skeyes who held this position for one year.

Michiel van Dorst: “I would like to thank Johan Decuyper for the focus he brought to FABEC through our common ANSP strategy FABEC The Way Ahead. As chairman of ASB this year, I would like to focus on small and successful steps for FABEC that enhance performance for our customers. My main focus area this year will be the organisation of XMAN trials in which several FABEC ANSPs are involved. Main goal of the XMAN concept is flight optimisation for airlines. My second focus area is the improvement of digitisation of cross-border aeronautical data as an enabler for airspace redesign.”

Michiel van Dorst is CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Air Traffic Control the Netherlands (LVNL), which he joined in May 2016. Van Dorst is committed to ensuring that the organisation delivers world-class performance and fulfills its purpose: Enabling aviation together.
