The Flight Safety Foundation – SE Europe – Cyprus (FSF – MED) has stated that Cyprus possesses modern technological equipment and a highly trained workforce in the field of air traffic control, ensuring exceptionally high levels of flight safety. This statement comes in response to recent communication issues with aircraft in Greek airspace, however, the Foundation emphasizes that flight safety was never compromised. Furthermore, FSF – MED reports that the creation of a separate air traffic service provider company will contribute to the further upgrading of services, given the continuous increase in air traffic in the region. The Foundation calls on all involved parties to strengthen air traffic control and management systems to prevent similar incidents in the future, reaffirming its commitment to promoting flight safety.
