Since its founding, COOPANS has been committed to delivering innovative and efficient Air Traffic Management solutions through shared systems, expertise, and a strong partnership approach. Over the past 20 years, COOPANS has grown into a unique alliance, demonstrating how collaboration across borders can enhance performance, safety, and cost-efficiency in aviation. This milestone is not only a reflection of past achievements, but also an opportunity to look ahead and continue shaping the future of European Air Traffic Management together.

The anniversary was celebrated together with partners and stakeholders during Airspace World in Lisbon, providing a fitting setting to reflect on past achievements and strengthen relationships for the future. Alliance Board Chair Mario Kunovec Varga:” As we mark the 20th anniversary of the COOPANS Alliance, I am reminded that our greatest strength is not the technology we have built, but the partnership and collaboration that define the way we work together. Cooperation is at the centre of everything we do: from defining requirements and integration to safety assessments and implementation. We truly live our motto: real cooperation, real results. And as we look ahead, I truly believe the COOPANS model of cooperation is exactly what modern aviation needs.

We thank all partners, stakeholders, and employees who have contributed to this success story—and we look forward to many more years of collaboration and progress.
