Eurocontrol director general Raul Medina says the accession process for Iceland commenced in August 2020 and has involved a “huge amount of work”.
“It is excellent news for the agency and for the European aviation network as a whole,” he adds.
Joining Eurocontrol is a “logical step”, says Icelandic Transport Authority director general Jon Gunnar Jonsson.
He says aviation and air navigation are “vitally important” for Iceland given that it is “geographically positioned at a crossroads between continents”.
Eurocontrol states that Iceland is already “well-integrated” with Europe, through membership of the European Economic Area as well as other pacts and trade agreements.
