Europe plans capacity hike
Article Abstract:
The European aircraft monitoring agency Eurocontrol will implement a full reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM) in Jan 2002. Eurocontrol program manager Joe Sultana said a separation minimum of 1,000 ft instead of 2,000 ft will be enforced to above Flight Level 290 to properly equipped aircraft. This will result in six additional levels in 39 states and allow more aircraft to fly optimum flight levels. RVSM is touted to be one of the most cost effective means to increase capacity in European airspace.
