MUAC: 40 years of vision

The EUROCONTROL Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC)'s story begins back in the sixties, when air travel started to become very popular as a result of mass tourism and business travel. MUAC was established as part of a broader pan-European vision to create a number of similar facilities across the continent to ensure a common, consolidated and more efficient approach to the provision of air traffic control services, in order to meet the needs of the newly thriving aviation industry. What was required was an interoperable control system which transcended national borders. These were the very first steps towards the objectives of the Single European Sky.
