Who we are

DFS in Germany and Europe

Air navigation services are a sovereign task. This is laid down in the German Aviation Act (LuftVG), the legal basis for what DFS does. In addition, there is a large number of
international rules and European requirements that form the framework for our work. They have an influence on financing and the technology used. They are also ensuring ever greater cooperation within Europe.

Legal and organisational framework
