La lettonie modernise sa navigation aérienne ... avec les USA !

La Lettonie, membre de l'UE depuis 2004, va moderniser son système de contrôle aérien ... surprenant voire troublant, dans le communiqué qui suit, pas la moindre référence au Single Sky ou à SESAR encore moins à un quelconque FAB ... seul le partenariat avec les USA est mis en avant ! LGS est pourtant membre du NEAP.

At the ceremony on the 4th of November 2009 held by the “Latvijas gaisa satiksme” (LGS) and attended also by Judith Garber, U.S. ambassador to Latvia, ambitious study aimed at modernizing the Latvian Air Traffic System was launched.

The funding for this project is provided by US Trade and Development Agency that chose DORS International, a US company, to provide consulting assistance and prepare for the technical and financial aspects of the Program.

Ambassador Judith Garber in her address emphasised the project’s significance in strengthening relations between the USA and Latvia:

“The United States and Latvia are recognised as strong partners in political and military issues, but our economic relationship is just as important. US-Latvian business cooperation is a key part of our relationship, and our government wants to encourage even more. We are here to celebrate a prominent example of the kind of economic benefits we can achieve when we work together.”
