For the first time, the Leaders of the Air Navigation Services Provider M-NAV, Mr. Nikolche Taseski and Mr. Aleksandar Palchevski along with ATM and CNS Experts from M-NAV were on one-day working meeting with representatives from HCAA-Thessaloniki (Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority), neighbouring Hellenic Republic.
The main topic that was discussed was the implementation of OLDI (On Line Data Interchange) with MAKEDONIA APP, as a protocol for automatic coordination and transfer of current flight data between the said two adjacent air traffic control units. The implementation of OLDI is essential for obtaining greater efficiency and accuracy of flight data exchange, i.e. also the verbal coordination between the adjacent air traffic control units will be reduced.
Other crucial operative topics were also discussed at the meeting.
Having in mind that this is first working meeting with the colleagues from HCAA-Thessaloniki, the meeting may be assessed as particularlysignificant not only in view of improving the process of exchanging automated flight data messages but also in view of generally improved communication, enhanced mutual trust and cooperation between the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of North Macedonia in the area of aviation.
Such constructive and cooperative position of these adjacent ATS units will continue in future as well.
