Eurocontrol Workshop to be held in Malta

The Department of Civil Aviation, with the full support of the Ministry for Transport and Communications, and EUROCONTROL have organised a workshop on Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RSVM), which is being held between the 29^th and the 31^st March 1999, in St. Julians.

The objective of this workshop is to enable Regional stakeholders to become familiar with the implications of the introduction of a reduced vertical separation between aircraft at high altitude, planned for January 2002. Delegates from European and North African countries are expected to attend, as well as other stakeholders from interested organisations and airline operators.

Malta is actively participating in this workshop, not only by providing organisational support, but through representatives of the Department of Civil Aviation, Malta International Airport plc, Air Malta plc and the local general aviation community.
