Europe’s North Atlantic gateway
The UK-Ireland FAB is Europe’s North Atlantic gateway. Around 90% of North Atlantic traffic passes through Irish or UK airspace. One of the core functions of the FAB is to ensure the successful integration of traffic flows between the North Atlantic (NAT), domestic UK-Ireland, and core European area traffic.

The primary objective of UK-Ireland FAB is to reduce costs to airspace users and increase the efficiency of FAB airspace. Through this objective, the FAB is aiming to contribute to the European Union’s SES performance targets regarding safety, cost efficiency, capacity/delay and the environment. In the first four years we delivered over €70m of enabled savings to customers, including 232,000 tonnes of CO2 and 73,000 tonnes of fuel.
