The Single European Sky has become more of a reality after today's third day of Airspace Integration Week, which today moved to Cuatro Vientos Aerodrome with the celebration of Expodrónica and WOSS, the World Space Summit. The integration of the ATM, STM, AAM and unmanned traffic management sectors has taken another step forward in the determined drive towards the Single European Sky.
The presentations, talks, demonstrations by different European companies, as well as the visit of different officials such as the Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Héctor Gómez; the Councillor for Innovation and Entrepreneurship of the Madrid City Council, Ángel Niño; or the participation of senior representatives of the European Commission, have shown that the sector has strong support from local, regional, national and European administrations.
