Uzbekistan's air navigation service provider Uzaeronavigation took part in the first meeting of the Green ATM User Group, held on 9–10 November in Vienna. This was reported by Umid Nazarov.
The meeting discussed the structure of the programme, assessment and accreditation.
The meeting continues a series of international contacts for Uzaeronavigation this autumn. On 22 September in Beijing, the Uzaeronavigation Center and China's Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) signed a cooperation memorandum, the first formal agreement between the two countries' air navigation service providers. We covered it here: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/uzaeronavigation-and-chinas-atmb-sign-first-air-navigation-cooperation/
In early November, Tashkent hosted the 34th ICAO Route Development Group meeting (RDGE/34) and a seminar on civil-military cooperation and flexible use of airspace, held on 2–6 November: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/tashkent-icao-meeting-flexible-airspace-use-transit-central-asia/
Sustainability has also reached the institutional level at the country's airports. In October, nine Uzbek airports received Airport Carbon Accreditation certificates: Tashkent at Level 2 and the other eight at Level 1: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/uzbekistans-airports-receive-airport-carbon-accreditation/
Our assessment: taking part in the first meeting means Uzaeronavigation is at the stage of shaping the programme, not applying it. Together with airport accreditation, it shows that sustainability in Uzbekistan is being addressed at both levels of infrastructure, airports and air navigation. For the region's air navigation providers, ESG consultants and suppliers of air traffic management systems, it is a signal that an industry framework for assessment and accreditation is taking shape. This is the view of flycentralasia.
