"Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise that’s headed by me," said Andrii Yarmak, "is the national provider of air navigation services in Ukraine and connects all Ukrainian airports with air routes, as well as with other airports in the world. And for us, as always, ensuring flight safety in this air communication has been and remains a top priority." He also noted that the UkSATSE team has experience in implementing the Safety Case - when opening air routes in Simferopol FIR over the high seas of the Black Sea, where the responsibility for providing air traffic services is delegated to Ukraine under the international agreements.

Andrii Yarmak, Director of UkSATSE, confirmed the intentions for cooperation with the FAA in the direction of maintaining and developing the knowledge of air traffic control personnel.
We signed the Memorandum on providing access to the FAA online training platform, which contains training materials for self-study of air traffic controller license holders in 15 areas, as well as courses for CNS specialists. In view of certain differences that exist in ATS procedures between ICAO and FAA, work on systematization and streamlining of the training process will be organized later.

UkSATSE provides regular refresher training for all ATC personnel both in Ukraine and abroad
In early July, UkSATSE received part of the third tranche of funding, which will enable it to continue all the projects and programmes already underway. It is worth recalling that under the skills maintenance programme, Ukrainian ATCOs had the opportunity to attend a refresher training course at Ecole Nationale de l’Aviation Civile (ENAC - National School of Civil Aviation) in Toulouse, France, which allowed them to improve their knowledge of approach and aerodrome air traffic control. Ukrainian specialists have also completed training in the Design of ATC Simulation Exercises and Courses (HUM-SIM) course in Luxembourg at the EUROCONTROL Institute of Air Navigation Services (IANS) and the UARC Renewal Training Course in Maastricht, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, based on the MUAC simulation facility. This training will help ATCOs and OJTIs to improve their professional skills and acquire the knowledge necessary to provide simulation training and further ATCOs assessment in the respective UkSATSE ATM Centres. The transparency and accountability of the use of funds received by UkSATSE from EUROCONTROL should also be highlighted. Funding is subject to a detailed cost estimate and a positive evaluation by external auditors.

EUROCONTROL Member States decide to cover Ukraine’s contribution to organisation’s 2023 budget totalling about EUR 4 million
The 59th meeting of the Provisional Council (PC) was held at EUROCONTROL Headquarters in Brussels where the EUROCONTROL Member States supported the programme “Raising the Bar: Building EUROCONTROL 2030” presented by Director General Raul Medina Caballero, which is a strategic view on the Agency’s future tasks and transformation. The first item of this programme is entirely devoted to supporting Ukraine and, in particular, defines the Agency’s initiatives aimed at delivering help to Ukraine – the Yellow-Blue Roadmap. At the ad hoc session of the Permanent Commission following PC/59, the Member States unanimously supported the request of Ukraine for funds to cover its annual contribution to EUROCONTROL 2023 budget – for a total amount of around EUR 4 million.

We continue training our air traffic controllers
The images of the Ukrainian airspace were displayed on the monitors of the ATC simulator of Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC) for the first time ever. The training of Ukrainian ATCOs is delivered under the Action Plan between UKSATSE and EUROCONTROL for Air Navigation Services Recovery in the Airspace of Ukraine and is evidence of the systemic common efforts of UkSATSE and EUROCONTROL. Starting today, our colleagues with the engagement of experts from MUAC, which has long been an advanced Centre in Europe in terms of the ATS efficiency and the use of the latest ATS technologies, receive training under the UARC Renewal Training Course program. This training will enable ATCs, OJTIs and experts to enhance their professional skills and expertise required for delivering simulation training to maintain practical skills of ATCOs, refresher training and further assessment of controllers at the ATM Centres of UkSATSE.

Today, European Organisation for Safety of Air Navigation transferred second tranche of European ATM Voluntary Solidarity Fund to Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise
In accordance with the Agreement between Ukraine and EUROCONTROL relating to the implementation of the Fund, the allocation of funds was based on the completion of the first phase of an in-depth assessment of the UkSATSE cost-base by individual cost elements and payments, and a positive report on the compliance of the cost items with the Fund purposes and procedures issued by the external auditors appointed by EUROCONTROL (Ernst & Young). The transparency of the UkSATSE activities and use of the Fund resources is a crucial basic element of trust of the EUROCONTROL Member States which fill the Fund and support the Ukrainian air navigation sector. The launch of the process of training and maintaining the qualifications/competence of the UkSATSE operational (air traffic control) personnel at the training centres of our foreign partners has become an important part of the second tranche.

Ukrainian airspace will be opened immediately after the end of hostilities and the victory of Ukraine
Today, the Ukrainian information space was stirred by the news of the EUROCONTROL latest forecast that flights in Ukraine are likely to resume only at the end of 2029. We could not ignore such reports, so we are informing you in detail about the forecast preparation specifics and the prospects for opening the Ukrainian sky. The latest published forecast is based on the current situation in the aviation industry and route configuration, namely closure of the Ukrainian airspace for civil flights due to military operations, significant restrictions on flights in the airspace of Moldova (also for security reasons), Russia and Belarus (sanction bans), a significant reduction in flights in Poland, the Baltic and Scandinavian countries, and a respective increase in the flying intensity in the southern and eastern parts of Europe (to overfly closed areas), etc. These factors are expected to be in place until the end of the planning horizon, i.e. until 2029, as there are no other confirmed input data for forecasting to date. However, what is important to understand is that EUROCONTROL does not generate or use military forecasts/analytics/assumptions to create its forecasts. These calculations also do not include other uncertainties, such as unpredictable economic turbulence, escalation of geopolitical tensions, and other unpredictable events that may have a negative impact on aviation development.
