In February 2014 CCL launched a new ATM system based on the COOPANS harmonisation achievements. The operating software is based on the Thales TopSky system and was applied by seven ATC centres in five European countries. It ensures CCL’s permanent harmonisation with the EU standards and competitiveness on the European market of ANS.

Following the idea of the FAB initiative to enhance performance, in 2016 CCL achieved all objectives under the FAB CE Performance Plan.
