The opening of new air corridors means cutting flight time and lowering the price of tickets to citizens. But to achieve the normalisation of low air space and control of high air space, leaders of the Civil Aviation Authority, they say a political will is needed with the international factor, respectively, with NATO and KFOR.
Director General at the Civil Aviation Authority(AAC), Eset Berisha in an interview for Kosovo Press, says Kosovo and Albania have identified new air corridors and made all technical preparations, while with Montenegro and Serbia has no readiness from these two states.
The AAC head says that as a result of all this problem, Kosovo's national security is not at the right level until the normalisation of low air space and the takeover of high air space by Kosovo authorities.
According to him, the company from Hungary “Hungarrocontrol, which has expired five-year contracts this month, only last year has managed to register 7 million out of the 160 thousand overpasses that have occurred over Kosovo's airspace.
The high air space in Kosovo was opened for the first time after the war in 2014, and since then the control of high air space in Kosovo is making Hungarian company “Hungarrolly”.
