International cooperation

NEFAB (North European Airspace Block)

As an EEA member, Norway is subject to the EU's Single European Sky legislation, under which the design, management and regulation of airspace will be coordinated throughout the European Common Aviation Area. NEFAB, which stands for North European Functional Airspace Block, is an airspace cooperation between Norway, Finland, Estonia and Latvia.

ICAO NAT (International Civil Aviation Organization – North Atlantic)
