Air Traffic Flow Management in Croatia - Possibilities of International Airways Return

By analysing the air traffic flows dynamics within Europe and the actual traffic load on international air routes within the European network, the traffic isolation of the Croatian airspace becomes evident. The strategic orientation of Croatia towards European integrations dictates also a harmonised traffic policy. This includes connecting and co-ordination of development plans with Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina as an optimal option of reintegration into the international air routes system, i.e. co-ordinated requirements regarding reestablishment of air corridors, as well as the possible marking out of the new air routes - Adriatic Corridor. The preconditions for air traffic development in Croatia and reintegration into the system of air traffic flows are based on the favourable geo-traffic position, i.e. interest of the international operators to use the shortest routes, and on the readiness of Croatia to co-operate in the projects of harmonising and integrating the air traffic control system in Europe. The paper analyses the guidelines regarding air traffic development in Croatia within the context of integration processes of the European countries, which has been articulated by the EATCHIP and EATMS project as a unique European air traffic management. The positive projection of the development is based on the reintegration of the international air routes (overflights) with the Croatian interests from the geo-traffic aspect mostly overlapping with the interests of Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. A synchronised engagement of these countries would mean a lot in solving the operational problems of the existing international air routes, and especially a common strategy within ICAO-EANPG, a co-ordination body for aviation planning and development in the region of Europe and the countries of former USSR, as well as in co-ordination of development plans of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. From the geo-traffic aspect, the interests of Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina also overlap in issues regarding possible marking out of new international air routes within the international initiative of trafficaly connecting the Baltic and the Adriatic (Mediterranean).
