Adherence to Filed Flight Plans in European Airspace

2019-06-12

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) would like to inform European Aircraft Operators and Air Traffic Service providers on the importance of adhering to filed flight plans in the European airspace.

Unless there are safety reasons, the adherence to the filed flight plan is of great importance to keep the existing European network system safe and predictable.

To that purpose, EASA has developed a note for the attention of Aircraft Operators and Air Traffic Services (ATS), which is attached to this communication. Please distribute this note further to all aircraft operators and ATS providers under your direct oversight, to ensure that filed flight plans are adhered by, resulting in a decrease of the safety risks.
