CANSO Highlights HungaroControl’s Accession to SOCEA

CANSO has published a news article announcing that HungaroControl has officially joined the Regional Air Navigation Safety Coordination Platform for European and Asian ANSPs (SOCEA), becoming the first European Union Air Navigation Service Provider to be part of the platform.

In its coverage, CANSO underlines the strategic importance of HungaroControl’s membership, noting that SOCEA brings together Air Navigation Service Providers from Europe and Asia to enhance safety, efficiency, and cross-regional coordination in air traffic management.

The publication of this news by CANSO reflects SOCEA’s growing visibility within the global aviation community. In parallel, SOCEA has also received a formal letter of support from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), recognising the platform’s positive contribution to regional cooperation, information exchange, and coordinated air navigation practices.

Together, international recognition by ICAO and coverage by CANSO demonstrate that SOCEA is increasingly being acknowledged as a meaningful coordination platform, strengthening its profile beyond the region and contributing to dialogue within the wider global air navigation system.
