Introduction.
Free Route Airspace concept of operations became one of the main priorities for aircraft operators and,
certainly, a major challenge for the ANSP’s towards the Single European Sky initiative.
Currently, in the framework of the SW FAB development, NAV Portugal and ENAIRE are participating in the
extension of the free route concept of operations to our neighbouring airspaces including Brest (FABEC
airspace), Santa Maria Oceanic and Casablanca airspace (third country) in what can be considered as the
biggest free route airspace initiative.
It is highlighted the importance of collaboration, as a first step, and the following inter-FAB cooperation to
accomplish with a wide Network perspective to permit an optimum performance not only in the framework
of the flight efficiency indicator but also, and very important, in the capacity/delay management of the traffic.
Taking into consideration the nature and characterisation of traffic demand in the SW Axis, it is possible to
vision a great potential to create a huge free route strategy with the necessity to improve cooperation
between all partners.

SW FAB Main traffic flows analysis
In September 2008 SW FAB released a fully detailed
characterisation of traffic demand in SW FAB airspace as
a basis to know:
1.- Traffic demand expectations and their preferences
for airspace planning;
2.- Inter/Intra-FAB coordination areas of interest.
This SW FAB traffic flows analysis was the first step to
develop the following studies to proceed with the
restructuring proposal inside SW FAB airspace and with
adjacent FAB airspaces (FABEC) and third countries
(Casablanca FIR).

SW FAB West Axis areas of interest.
In order to enable the optimum use of airspace, taking
into account main traffic flows, four (4) areas of interest in
the SW FAB West Axis were identified :
1.- New Madrid/Lisboa boundary limit definition;
2.- Extension free route Lisboa to Madrid;
3.- Extension free route to Brest ACC;
4.- Extension free route to Casablanca FIR;
5.- Extension free route to Santa Maria Oceanic.
Cooperation will be essential to accomplish with all these
airspace projects.

New cross border boundary between Lisboa and Madrid ACC.
In October 2012, taking full consideration of main traffic
flows and in line with SES expectations, a new cross-
border boundary limit was established between Lisboa
and Madrid airspaces irrespective of National borders
with the following target:
“the adjustments of collateral FIR boundaries according
to cross-border flows where operational gains justify it”.
Great value for ANSP’s and traffic demand to overcome
former limitations due to National borders.
Excellent cooperation beween ANSP’s (Enaire and NAV
Portugal) and with military partners.

Free route extension to Madrid ACC: FRASAI project.
In May 2014, the FRASAI project was implemented A
natural extension if the Lisboa free route project, based
on the 2008 traffic flows analysis and the new inter-FAB
cross border Boundary limit definition.
Early collaboration inside SW FAB between Enaire and
NAV Portugal was essential for the success of the
FRASAI project.

SW FAB main traffic flows study demonstrated that 20%
of traffic is interchanged between Brest/Madrid/Lisboa
ACC’s.
In the framework of the AEFMP OPS working sub-group,
SW FAB and DSNA are currently working on the
extension of SW FAB free route phase I to the French
coast (Brest ACC).
Free route extension to Brest airspace was highly
recognized by all aircraft operators. Taking into
consideration the nature and traffic flow characterisation,
it is possible to create DCT segments of approximately
700NM.
Inter-FAB collaboration with FABEC is essential for the
success of this airspace project.

Free route extension to Brest ACC (FABEC airspace): Area of Interest.
Taking into consideration Entry & Exit waypoints
to the free route airspace it is possible to create
DCT trajectories.
There is a need to identify the Area of Interest
(AoI) and perform a thorough traffic demand
analysis, to identify the main traffic flows (Entry to
Exit) in the AoI.
In this line, a new interface between SW FAB and
FABEC may be required (new waypoints) with the
objective of providing the most DCT trajectories
for the majority of the traffic in the AoI taking into
consideration operational needs and safety
issues.

Traffic interchange between SW FAB and Casablanca
FIR is approximately 18% of the total SW FAB traffic, with
a strong network relationship with FABEC airspace.
Inter‐FAB/regional cooperation has been identified by the
SW FAB as an essential element for the optimisation of
the network as a whole and the SW FAB has respected
regional agreements in existence, in particular those
involving third countries.
Taking into consideration the strong traffic flows
interrelationship between SW FAB and Casablanca
airspace, cooperation between SW FAB and ONDA
Morocco has been enhanced accomplishing with SES
regulations in relation to flight efficiency and improve
cooperation/collaboration with adjacent airspaces.

Free route extension to Santa Maria Oceanic.
Taking advantage of the Free Route
Airspace concept in both Portuguese
FIR’s (Lisboa + Santa Maria) it will be
studied the possibility to permit
CROSS_BORDER_DCT between both
airspaces with the improvement of
airspace utilization.

SW FAB Free route strategy.
Since the implementation of the free route
airspace project in Lisboa FIR, SW FAB
has established the extension of the free
route concept as the first priority action in
the Operational Domain as already
indicated to the European Commission last
November 2013
Currently, SW FAB operational experts are
participating in the extension of the free
route airspace concept to our neighbouring
airspaces including Brest, Santa Maria
Oceanic and Casablanca airspace, in what
can be considered as the biggest free
route airspace initiative.

iFRA project: conclusions.
Collaboration between all parts (Enaire, DSNA and NAV Portugal) will permit
to extend SW FAB free route strategy to find the optimum flight trajectory for
those traffic flows mentioned above;
It is based on the airspace continuum principle trying to overcome
national/FAB’s border and main traffic flows (via QPR and NTS zone)
providing benefits of DCT trajectories of approximately 700NM;
Huge traffic demand origin/destination UK-IRL FAB, representing potential to
extend inter-FAB cooperation/collaboration between SW FAB, FABEC and
UK-IRL FAB to better accommodate these traffic flows in a pioneering
experience in Europe.
Free route project Brest/Lisboa/Madrid aims to extend future free route projects from the SW FAB West Axis
until the south of the French coast to accommodate main traffic flows between those 3 airspaces;

Free route extension to Casablanca FIR: conclusions.
Main traffic flows in the SW FAB West Axis via Brest ACC are accommodated via Casablanca airspace
to/from Canary Islands destinations;
Currently a free route project is being developed in Casablanca airspace increasing and promoting direct
trajectories (DCT) in a first step (as already done by ONDA Morocco), towards a full free route project;
In the framework of the coordination strategy of the SW FAB with
adjacent third countries ( ONDA Morocco) the extension of the iFRA
project with Casablanca ACC is a window of opportunity to increase flight
efficiency in a huge demanding SW Axis to/from Canary Islands tourist
destinations;
AEFMP (Algeria, Spain, France, Morocco, Portugal) regional forum will
be serve as the reference cooperation platform to develop this initiative.

Inter-FAB conclusions.
Political instability forced traffic demand to look for other tourist destinations affecting the Europe SW Axis
which has presented an unexpected huge traffic increase;
Several free route initiatives are being developed in the SW Axis area separately in line with SES
expectations with significant flight efficiency gains due to the large dimension of the airspace involved;
Inter-FAB/third countries cooperation will be essential to try to create a seamless free route concept of
operations with the main goal to offer the most optimum trajectories for aircraft operators;
As a pioneering experience, the extension and participation of a third actor, UK-IRL FAB, will permit to
connect the SW Axis to the Borealis free route initiative to promote partnership and facilitate collaboration
and cooperation between FAB’s in line with the main expectations from the Network Manager and the Single
Sky defragmentation strategy.
