NUAC: Nordic Upper Area Control Centre Project
At the ATC Maastricht Conference 10–11 February 2004, the NUAC Project won the ATC Maastricht Awards in the category “Service Provision”.
“NUAC was a popular choice amongst the judges, and was a clear winner for the service provision award”
Naviair have taken the liberty to quote Jenny Beechener, Janes Airport Review who kindly has supplied Naviair with photos and résumé from the Awarding Ceremony.
NUAC: the four Nordic air navigation service providers aim to create common airspace above FL285. From February 2006, NUAC (likely to be at the new Malmo ATC centre) will be responsible for service provision in upper airspace over Sweden and Denmark.
The award is now situated at the NUAC Project office in Malmoe, Sweden.
