Air Navigation Safety And Security Problems

Summary/Abstract: International ICAO standards assume that there is national responsibility for the safety of air navigation, while demanding functional separation of regulatory from operational functions. Regulators and operators of air navigation are recognized by all services and all eligible institutions, regardless of the modes of organization and ownership structure - government authorities, the incorporated organizations (companies) and military authorities. In contrast to the ICAO, as an organ of the United Nations, the European Commission has set out the terms of separation of national authorities and providers (service providers - operatorsy) or regulatory and operational organization, by which it prejudices the corporatization and privatization. As these regulations were adopted by the European Ministerial Conference (ECAC,) they can be considered valid for the European countries which are not members of the Union. However, security as a primary function of air traffic services could be compromised by corporatisation and privatization of the system.
