Air Law

1.5 Airspace, air traffic service (ATS), and air traffic

service airspace (video 4 - 4 videoer)

For the sake of air traffic management, the atmosphere is divided into areas,

and each area is assigned different airspace classes.

The "traffic rules" for air traffic depend on the class of airspace in which one is

flying.

1.5.1 Airspace designations

Airspace is divided into different categories/sections, which manage, organize,

and regulate flights.

1.5.1.1 Copenhagen FIR

The Danish airspace is called

Copenhagen FIR (Flight Information

Region). Airspace is primarily controlled

by ACC Naviair and COIF Copenhagen

Information.

ACC Naviair (Area Control Center) manages airspace over Denmark and

surrounding sea areas, meaning it is responsible for organizing and controlling

flights at higher altitudes.

COIF Copenhagen Information provides flight information services (FIS) to VFR

flights in areas where this service is not provided by approach service units in

the LTA (Local Traffic Area).

In FIR, flight information services and alarm services are provided.
