Availability of relevant operational data with respect to general air traffic is essential for enabling the flexible provision of air traffic data services, on cross-border and on Union-wide bases. Therefore, such data should be made available to relevant stakeholders including to entities having a proven interest in considering the provision of air navigation services, on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. Accuracy of information including on airspace status and on specific air traffic situations and timely distribution of this information to civil and military controllers has a direct impact on the safety and efficiency of operations, including the environmental efficiency of flights. Timely access to up-to-date information on airspace status is essential for all parties wishing to take advantage of airspace structures made available when filing or re-filing their flight plans.
