GM1 Article 6 ‘Service providers’

ED Decision 2017/001/R

PROVISION OF ATFM AND/OR ASM

(a)     In most cases, the provision of ATFM and/or ASM takes place in a bundled service performed by the ATS providers. However, the provision of ATFM and/or ASM as a bundled service is not a legal requirement.

(b)     Initially under the single European sky (SES) I initiative in 2004 with the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, functions were not subject to certification; they were only subject to continuous oversight. This difference between functions and services was removed in the 2009 with the SESII initiative and the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 (the EASA Basic Regulation), with the effect that the two concepts now have an identical certification and oversight regime.
