Operation Unified Protector from the Perspective of the Maltese Air Navigation Service Provider

Abstract

War conflicts always have effect on air navigation service providers directly and indirectly. Nowadays, it is particularly relevant to examine the provision of air navigation services through a conflict in a neighbouring country, to outline its complexity and difficulties, and at the same time the potential opportunities in civil-military cooperation. In my study I analyse the role of the Maltese Air Navigation Service Provider during the Operation Unified Protector, presenting a brief history of the air traffic in Malta, as well as the air traffic environment.
