ESSP (European Satellite Services Provider) and the Finnish aerodrome operator of Lahti-Vesivehmaa (EFLA), which is an uncontrolled (Class G, non-ATS) aerodrome with a non-instrument runway, have signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) in January 2023 for the first time ever in this type of scenario. The EWA signature process has been fully supported by Fintraffic ANS, the major Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) in Finland, in coordination with the Finnish National Aviation Authority. This is a key step across Europe that establishes the operational and legal framework for using EGNOS Safety-of-Life Service as a navigation aid at uncontrolled aerodromes with non-instrument runways.

ESSP, as EGNOS SERVICE PROVIDER, and the Oslo Police District of the Norwegian National Police Air Support Unit, have recently signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA), as a key step for the implementation of EGNOS-based approach procedures in Norway. This agreement is the second one with an organization which is not an Air Navigation Service Provider, and has been defined in full cooperation with both the operator and the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority.

The agreement will enable the publication of EGNOS-based approach procedures in the main Slovenian airports currently being acted by SLOVENIA CONTROL: LJUBLJANA / BRNIK (LJLJ), MARIBOR / OREHOVA VAS (LJMB), PORTOROZ / SECOVLJE (LJPZ) and CERKLJE / CERKLJE OB KRKI (LJCE)
