The statement recalled that PANSA is obliged to comply with the standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organisation and the European Commission, and is also supervised by the Civil Aviation Authority and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
“Proceeding in compliance, and in certain areas, exceeding the standards established by these organisations is a task adopted by the Polish Air Navigation Services Agency” – it was written.
