In addition, we contribute to the development of national and European performance indicators that enable analysis of the efficient use of established airspace structures, thereby ensuring continuous improvement in the provision of this service.
Aerial works, flight tests, UAS operations, and other civil activities beyond commercial aviation are coordinated through the Airspace Operations Coordination Department. For more information, you can contact us at cop@enaire.es.
The Airspace Management Cell (AMC Spain) is a national civil/military unit that manages the temporary allocation of airspace on a daily basis (strategic and pre-tactical phases), based on requests submitted by authorised civil and military agencies. For any questions regarding civil/military coordination, you can contact us at gcat_asm@enaire.es.
The organisation of air traffic flow and airspace management can be consulted in AIP Spain, ENR 1.9.
In accordance with the FUA Regulation, ENAIRE provides ASM services in coordination with all relevant organisations, particularly with the Spanish Air Force, with which it coordinates the following military and civil activities, among others:
- Large-scale military exercises, such as NATO manoeuvres.
- Aerial works (photographic flights, inspection of power lines, coverage of sporting events such as the cycling tour, and aerial filming).
- Sporting activities (hot air balloon competitions, parachute jumps, air shows).
- Public safety and air security activities related to state events and public gatherings (F1, MotoGP, etc.).
- Any other activity requiring airspace use, including drone (UAS) operations that need dissemination via NOTAM (aeronautical notification).
This is in addition to the regular operations of airlines, ENAIRE’s main clients. To ensure proper airspace management and coordination of all activities within it, we use tools such as Eurocontrol’s LARA (Local and Sub-Regional Airspace Management Support System). This system, implemented across civil and military units, streamlines coordination and optimises airspace use for all users.
