Director General, Mr Morten Dambaek, has taken up the position as chairman of the COOPANS co-operation.

COOPANS is a technical development co-operation among Naviair, the Irish IAA, the Swedish LFV, the Austrian Austro Control and Thales. The co-operation is expected to reduce the technical development costs by approximately 30 percent compared to individually developed technology.

Naviair holds the presidency until 2012. During this period, COOPANS must complete the so called Build 1 in the control centres in Ireland, Sweden and Denmark. This means that Mr Morten Dambaek will be at the helm in a phase of vital importance to the COOPANS co-operation.

During the recent COOPANS meeting in Oslo on 16 June 2010, Naviair took over the presidency. Croatia Control Ltd. entered into the co-operation as an observer only one week earlier on 9 June 2010. Within the next year, Croatia Control Ltd. must decide on full membership.

Croatia Control Ltd. aims at full membership of COOPANS as of Build 3.
