Sažetak
Within different European airspace areas, Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) handling en- route traffic are usually facing different workload levels while performing mostly the same on-duty tasks. The reason for this arises due to the different airspace complexity levels in which ATCOs have to, by taking into consideration and respecting the same internationally acceptable safety requirements, manage air traffic and its traffic flows. This research paper tries to give an answer to question: “What is the current European airspace fragmentation status in dependence of commonly accepted and measured airspace complexity indicators?” The research is based on Performance Review Unit's (PRU) data and its computation gathered from 37 European Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). Within conducted quantitative research the total European airspace area of 11, 203, 200 km2 was analysed. Based on obtained results, the existence of differently associating areas within European airspace leads to the conclusion that European airspace is fragmented into different homogeneous and sized spatial patterns identified within research paper.
