ZAGREB, Jan 23 (Hina) - Croatia's administration of flight control
and the Transport Ministry's civil aviation department on Sunday
resolutely denied claims of a part of the trade union of workers in
the flight control that this control has not been ready, in
technical terms and as regards staff, to handle the re-opening of
air corridors over Croatia which have been closed since 1991. Last
Wednesday the reopening of those corridors was announced for
January 27 this year.
Arbitration of an independent commission will be immediately
requested to repudiate those untruths.
The duty of the independent commission will be to establish real
operational and staff possibilities of Croatia's system of flight
control, read a statement issued by the administration of flight
control and the relevant department of the Transport Ministry.
Results of the arbitration will be made public.
According to the statement, the system of flight control in Croatia
has been better equipped compared to the situation before the
Homeland War when the air traffic used to include 1,500 planes
daily.
In addition, about 150 Croatian air traffic controller were
educated or further professionally trained at academies in Britain
and Germany thanks to a loan of the European Bank for the
Reconstruction and Development.
The administration of the flight control system held that by
launching such untrue claims the trade union disturbed the
international and Croatian public when finally air traffic in the
region should come to normal after almost nine years.
