This session will provide participants with important information on current regulatory developments and future directions related to Flight Information Services and ATM in general. EASA representatives will present key updates and be available to address questions from delegates. We encourage all participants to attend this valuable session and take part in discussions that contribute to the advancement of our field.

Integrating UTM and FIS: Managing the Future of Airspace The rapid rise of drones and other unmanned aerial systems is reshaping the way we think about airspace — and challenging traditional models of air traffic support. As these new entrants become more frequent and diverse, the need for seamless coordination between Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems and existing Flight Information Service (FIS) operations is becoming critical. At the 15th International FISO Seminar, we’ll address one of the most urgent and transformative topics in today’s aviation landscape: How can FIS units adapt and integrate into an airspace environment increasingly shared with unmanned traffic? This session will explore: - The current landscape of UTM development in Europe and globally - The evolving operational and strategic role of FIS in a multi-user airspace - Information exchange, situational awareness, and real-time traffic data - Regulatory, procedural, and human factors considerations - Lessons learned from early UTM-FIS integration projects As the boundaries between manned and unmanned operations continue to blur, FIS professionals are uniquely positioned to contribute to safe and efficient integration — but only if equipped with the right tools, training, and strategies.

Jotron’s mission is to deliver communication solutions that ensure safety and efficiency in the most critical aviation environments. This presentation highlights Jotron’s role in supporting Flight Information Service and Air Traffic Control operations with advanced VHF/UHF radios, voice communication systems, and recording solutions. By combining proven reliability with innovative technology, Jotron enables controllers and FIS officers to maintain clear, uninterrupted communication—strengthening situational awareness and enhancing overall air traffic safety.

Discover real-world examples, proven strategies, and innovative approaches that enhance service quality, operational safety, and efficiency in FIS environments. This session offers valuable insights from experienced professionals and provides a platform for sharing practical solutions and lessons learned across regions.

This session will provide participants with the latest developments, standards, and guidance materials relevant to Flight Information Services and ATM in general, on a global scale. ICAO representatives will offer valuable insights into current initiatives and upcoming changes that impact FIS operations worldwide. This is a key opportunity to stay informed, ask questions, and engage with the global regulatory framework shaping our profession.

This session will address key practices, regulatory frameworks, and operational challenges related to the safe and efficient coordination of apron traffic. Experts will share insights on procedures, communication, and the integration of apron management with Flight Information Services.

As the Single European Sky (SES) evolves, the role of people—air traffic controllers, pilots, engineers, and other aviation professionals—remains central to its success. This session, led by IFISA Vice President Oliver Wessollek, highlights the human factors that support safety, performance, and change in a modern ATM environment. As a full member of the European Commission's Expert Group on the Human Dimension of SES (CEGHD), IFISA brings a unique perspective on how collaboration, training, automation, and well-being must align to ensure a truly human-centered, sustainable future for European air traffic management.

Bratislava has icons that every visitor should see and Bratislava Flag Ship restaurant is one of them. The restaurant is one of the largest in Europe and offers local Bratislava cuisine and various Slovak dishes. It is also houses the so – called Bratislava Golden Lane, where you can sample local specialties and see what Bratislava looked like around 100 years ago.
