The SES programme was launched by the European Commission in 1999 and its primary aim was to meet future capacity and safety needs of European airspace through legislation.

"The cooperation strengthens both companies in terms of capabilities and allocation of resources."

The programme was primarily aimed at establishing targets in key areas of safety, network capacity, effectiveness and environmental impact.

With the current co-operation, the two countries hope to study and test innovative solutions, to improve simulations concomitant with the introduction of new technology and to develop training packages.

HungaroControl CEO Kornél Szepessy said: "International collaboration and the improvement of innovative capacities are efficient responses to the changes inherent in the rapid increase in air traffic and the challenges posed by European integration.
