The message coming from the 14^th annual European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE) – the annual meeting and exhibition of the European business aviation sector – was clear: business aviation needs EGNOS.

ESSP has just signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) with a British ANSP:  Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group (operating Cambridge International Airport).

The World ATM Congress proves to be an ideal venue for EGNOS to engage with partners and to introduce airports and ANSPs to the benefits of Performance Based Navigation (PBN). An EGNOS dedicated workshop organised by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and ESSP on 4^th March brings together ANSPs and airports interested in operational implementation.

ESSP and London Southend Airport have recently signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) as a key step for the implementation of EGNOS-based approach procedures (LPV procedures) to be used at this aerodrome.

MEDUSA’s team led by Telespazio and composed by ENAV, OACA, INECO and Helios, have validated EGNOS-based approach procedures designed by the project for the airport of Monastir in Tunisia.

The implementation of these new LPV approaches has been enabled by the EU-funded project ACCEPTA : Accelerating EGNOS Adoption in Aviation. ACCEPTA  aims to procure a wide-scale, real-life adoption of EGNOS-enabled LPV approaches across Europe in areas where the EGNOS signal is available and certified.
