Furthermore, the purpose of the Strategy is to clarify the various authorities’ areas of responsibility, and there is a presumption of close cooperation between civil and military airspace users and authorities.

Some of the Strategy’s follow-up items may have financial and administrative impacts. It is especially the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Transport, with subordinate agencies, which may be affected. All measures described in the Strategy can be covered by the Ministry of Transport’s and Ministry of Defence’s applicable budget frameworks.

Regarding the EU’s new initiatives under Single European Sky, these are handled in separate processes, where, among other things, financial and administrative consequences are accounted for. This will also apply to changes announced through SES II+, which is expected to be finalised by the EU in 2022. The role of the Strategy relating to SES is to facilitate that the overall national interests relating to airspace can be safeguarded in the best possible manner. The Airspace Strategy per se entails no obligations in the SES cooperation.
